PREFACE 

It  has  been  said  by  a  wise  and  witty  member  of  '82 
that  it  would  be  appropriate  for  those  responsible 
for  this  book  to  apologize  not  only  for  its  short- 
comings but  also  for  its  longcoming,  and  the  Com- 
mittee, recognizing  the  appositeness  of  the  remark, 
throws  itself  upon  the  mercy  of  the  class.  While 
the  labor  involved  in  the  preparation  of  the  book 
has  been  arduous  it  has  been  most  interesting  and 
greatly  facilitated  by  the  cooperation  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  class  who,  with  three  exceptions,  have 
complied,  in  general  very  promptly,  with  requests 
for  information  and  statistics. 

The  Committee  desires  to  extend  its  thanks  to 
Abbott  and  Brewster  to  whose  joint  efforts  is  due 
the  article  entitled,  "Our  Instructors."

UNDERGRADUATE  DAYS 

(CONDENSED  FROM  SENIOR  CLASS  statistics) 

We  were  all  boys,  and  three  of  us  were  friends; 
And  we  were  more  than  friends,  it  seemed  to  me;  — 
Yes,  we  were  more  than  brothers  then,  we  three,  .  .  . 
Brothers?  .  .  .  but  we  were  boys,  and  there  it  ends. 

The  Children  of  the  Night. 

THE  number  of  applicants  for  admission  to  '82  who 
crowded  Alumni  Hall  in  June,  1878,  was  the  largest 
then  on  record,  and  the  faculty  was  compelled  to  pursue  a 
vigorous  course  of  pruning  in  order  that  the  class  might  be 
kept  within  what  seemed  to  be  proper  bounds.  We  first  met 
as  a  body  in  Battell  Chapel  on  Thursday  afternoon,  Septem- 
ber 11,  1878,  at  five  o'clock,  where  we  were  divided  into  six 
alphabetical  divisions  and  assigned  to  our  respective  division 
officers.  Our  first  recitation  came  the  next  afternoon,  and 
the  first  man  to  recite  was  D.  B.  Porter,  who  was  called  upon 
by  the  "Rev.  John,"  who  subsequently  succeeded  in  reducing 
our  class  from  the  largest  on  record  to  one  of  the  smallest 
of  then  recent  years,  for,  as  Professor  Northrop  laconically 
expressed  it:  "  '82  Petered  out."  On  Wednesday  evening 
we  met  '81  in  a  rush  in  the  yard  of  the  Hopkins  Grammar 
School,  where,  by  our  superior  weight  and  vigor,  we  won  our 
first  laurels,  not  only  in  the  rush  but  in  numerous  individual 
wrestling  matches,  and  thereafter  maintained  our  form  and 
our  position  on  the  sidewalk  during  the  return  march  to 
the  campus. 

The  Record  of  September  14  gave  us  one  hundred  and 

[3  3 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

twenty  men,  with  one  hundred  more  out  on  conditions,  which 
was  a  very  large  total  membership;  but  in  the  same  issue, 
while  speaking  of  our  great  numbers,  it  quoted  that  little 
proverb  which  was  very  applicable  to  us,  "The  mills  of  the 
gods  grind  slowly,  but  they  grind  exceeding  small."  Our 
numbers  were  steadily  reduced  until  at  the  time  the  first 
catalogue  was  issued  we  had  only  one  hundred  and  seventy- 
four  members.  In  the  rush  at  the  class  boat  races  at  Lake 
Saltonstall  we  repeated  our  victory  and  won.  This  was  the 
battle  which  the  New  York  Sun  immortalized  by  a  vivid 
account  in  which  it  magnified  one  injured  arm  into  "five 
bruised  and  almost  senseless  bodies."  We  took  the  fresh- 
man fence  two  weeks  earlier  than  any  preceding  class  ever 
held  it  and  were  awarded  the  sophomore  fence  at  the  usual 
time.  Our  class  supper  was  held  at  the  old  Pequot  House 
at  New  London,  but  a  detailed  description  of  that  event  is 
unnecessary.  Those  who  were  there  will  never  forget  it, 
and  no  pen  could  represent  the  festivities  to  those  who  were 
not. 

In  sophomore  year  we  were  victorious  in  the  first  rush, 
but  hazing  was  largely  eliminated  because  of  a  notification 
from  the  faculty  that  twelve  men  were  held  as  hostages  for 
proper  behavior  by  the  class  in  this  particular. 

In  junior  year  our  appointment  list  was  very  large,  as  we 
had  eight  philosophical  besides  a  much  larger  number  than 
usual  of  the  lower  honors.  Our  Promenade  was  a  great 
success  and  our  Junior  Exhibition  of  superior  excellence. 
This  year  saw  the  death,  by  order  of  the  faculty,  of  Kappa 
Sigma  Epsilon  and  Delta  Kappa,  in  whose  halls  we  had  so 
many  good  times  in  our  freshman  and  sophomore  years. 

Our  senior  year  was  marked  in  the  latter  part  by  the 
decease  of  our  classmate  Wentworth,  when  for  the  first 
time  our  ranks  were  broken  by  death. 

During  our  four  years  the  course  was  enlarged  and  im- 
proved in  several  ways  and  a  number  of  new  professors

added.  A  new  library  for  the  Theological  Seminary  was 
erected  and  preparations  made  for  the  construction  of  a  new 
Laboratory,  the  gift  of  the  Messrs.  Sloane  of  Xew  York. 
Hamilton  Park  was  supplanted  by  the  Yale  Field,  which  was 
purchased,  developed,  and  almost  entirely  paid  for  during 
our  time. 

The  last  recitation  of  the  class  was  to  Professor  Phelps 
in  Constitutional  Law  on  Thursday,  June  i,  at  twelve 
o'clock,  Hand  being  the  last  man  called  up  and  completing 
the  record  of  the  class  with  a  "cold  rush." 

Thirty-one  members  of  '82  were  born  in  Connecticut,  21 
in  Xew  York,  16  in  Pennsylvania,  1 1  in  Massachusetts,  6  in 
Maine,  4  in  Illinois,  4  in  New  Hampshire,  3  in  Xew  Jersey, 
2  in  Wisconsin,  2  in  Louisiana,  2  in  Minnesota,  2  in  Ohio, 
and  2  in  Kentucky,  and  i  in  each  of  the  following  States: 
Indiana,  Vermont,  Mississippi,  Georgia,  Alabama,  Kansas, 
Rhode  Island,  South  Carolina,  Maryland,  and  Michigan, 
while  i  was  born  in  X^ew  Brunswick  and  i  in  Syria. 

Forty-eight  schools  and  eleven  private  tutors  participated 
in  preparing  '82  for  its  college  course.  The  Hopkins  Gram- 
mar School  prepared  15,  Williston  Seminary  12,  Andover 
10,  Hartford  High  School  5,  Rockville  High  School  3,  St. 
Paul's,  Adelphi,  Polytechnic  of  Brooklyn,  and  the  high 
schools  at  Montclair,  Bath,  Bangor,  Birmingham,  New 
London,  Buffalo,  and  Philadelphia  2  each. 

The  average  age  of  the  class  at  graduation  was  22  years, 
8  months,  and  4  days,  being  the  oldest  average  of  any  class 
to  that  date,  with  the  exception  of  '8i,  whose  average  was 
22  years,  9  months,  and  26  days.  '69  at  the  time  of  our 
graduation  was  the  youngest  class  on  record,  her  average 
age  being  22  years  and  8  days.  The  age  of  our  youngest 
man  was  20  years,  1  month,  and  10  days,  and  of  our  oldest, 
32  years,  5  months,  and  8  days.  Our  tallest  man  measured 
6  feet  2*4  inches  and  our  shortest  5  feet  21?  inches,  while 
our  average  height  was   5    feet   8%   inches.      Our   average 


UNDERGRADUATE  DAYS 

weight  was  146  pounds  5.38  ounces;  our  heaviest  man 
weighed  200  pounds  and  our  lightest  man  weighed  115 
pounds.  The  average  chest  measurement  was  36/2  inches, 
the  largest  measurement  being  42  inches. 

During  our  sophomore  year  the  Athletic  Association  of 
the  college  was  reorganized  and  placed  on  a  firm  basis  and 
became  a  member  of  the  Intercollegiate  Association.  We 
won  many  events  in  the  class  games,  while  at  the  Mott  Haven 
games  one  of  our  members  won  the  mile  run  for  two  succes- 
sive years.  Our  class  baseball  nine  was  very  strong,  and  in 
the  spring  of  freshman  year  we  won  every  game  we  played 
with  a  single  exception,  beating  the  Harvard  freshmen 
not  only  in  New  Haven  but  at  Cambridge,  which  was 
the  first  time  that  a  Yale  freshman  nine  had  ever  succeeded 
in  vanquishing  the  Harvard  freshmen  on  their  own  grounds. 
In  our  first  year  the  college  won  the  intercollegiate  cham- 
pionship in  baseball,  and  while  in  our  sophomore  year 
Princeton  won  the  Intercollegiate  Association  championship, 
from  which  we  had  withdrawn,  as  we  defeated  her  and  won 
every  college  game  played  excepting  one,  the  press  of  the 
country  awarded  us  the  college  championship.  This  we 
again  held  the  following  year,  having  rejoined  the  Intercol- 
legiate Association.  The  Intercollegiate  Football  Associa- 
tion was  formed  in  our  freshman  year,  with  Yale,  Harvard, 
and  Princeton  as  members,  and  the  game  was  played  with 
fifteen  men;  we  beat  Harvard,  but  were  defeated  by  Prince- 
ton. In  sophomore  year  our  games  with  Harvard  and 
Princeton  wTere  both  draws,  and  in  the  following  year  we 
defeated  Harvard  and  again  played  a  draw  game  with 
Princeton.  In  boating,  although  we  originally  had  an  ex- 
tremely strong  crew,  we  were  unfortunate,  for  one  reason  or 
another,  in  the  class  races.  The  history  of  the  university 
crew  during  our  course  is  more  agreeable,  though  not  ex- 
hilarating, we  having  won  from  Harvard  in  our  sophomore 
and  junior  years  and  lost  in  freshman  and  senior  years. 

C'7  1 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

The  average  expense  for  each  of  the  four  years  was  as 
follows:  freshman  year,  $867;  sophomore  year,  $923; 
junior  year,  $1048;  senior  year,  $1063,  making  a  total 
average  expense  of  $3901.  The  price  for  table  board  paid 
by  each  member  of  the  class  throughout  the  course  varied 
from  $3.50  to  $14.00  per  week,  the  average  price  being 
about  $5.25.  Thirty-seven  of  the  class  helped  support  them- 
selves in  various  ways  during  their  college  course,  of  whom 
eighteen  earned  money  by  tutoring  and  six  by  writing  and 
contributing  to  papers;  three  each  by  playing  poker  and 
teaching,  two  by  singing,  and  one  each  by  drawing,  acting  as 
a  clerk,  farming,  collecting,  working  in  the  Library,  acting 
as  an  organist,  and  taking  prizes.  The  sums  earned  varied 
from  ten  dollars  to  one  thousand  dollars,  one  man  having 
earned  the  latter  amount  during  his  course. 

Of  the  class,  85  were  Republicans,  14  were  Democrats, 
9  were  independent,  and  there  was  one  civil  service  re- 
former, while  8  had  no  definite  political  views.  Thirty-four 
of  the  class  had  voted  before  graduation,  and  23  expressed 
an  intention  of  taking  an  active  part  in  politics  subsequent 
to  graduation.  In  spite  of  Professor  Sumner's  teaching  the 
class  graduated  23  protectionists,  while  9  were  undecided 
on  that  point  and  the  remaining  84  men  were  free-traders. 

Seventy-two  of  the  class  had  no  objection  to  alcoholic 
beverages,  and  67  used  tobacco  in  some  form,  all  of  whom 
except  15  formed  the  habit  before  entering  college.  Twenty- 
seven  neither  smoked  nor  drank.  Four  were  arrested;  two 
for  a  fight  on  the  steps  of  Delta  Kappa  Hall,  one  for  dis- 
turbing the  peace,  and  one  for  swearing  at  a  policeman. 
One  of  the  first  two  was  fined,  but  the  other  cases  were  dis- 
missed. Four  men  were  called  at  various  times  before  the 
faculty;  9  were  suspended  and  21  warned. 

Fifty-five  members  of  the  class  were  church-members, 
divided  denominationally  in  the  following  manner:  Con- 
gregationalists    22,    Episcopalians     12,    Presbyterians     n,

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Baptists  6,  Methodists  4.  The  sympathy  of  the  whole  class 
with  the  several  denominations  was  as  follows :  Congrega- 
tional 35,  Episcopalian  31,  Presbyterian  19,  Methodist  7, 
Baptist  6,  agnostic  5,  Jews  and  non-sectarian  2  each, 
Lutheran,  Quaker,  Unitarian,  Deist,  Utilitarian,  Ingersollite 
1  each;  4  had  no  religious  belief  and  1  was  undecided. 
Thirty  of  the  class  at  some  time  engaged  in  work  in  the 
several  missions  of  the  city,  and  25  of  these  regularly  so. 

At  the  time  of  graduation  it  was  the  intention  of  70  men 
to  enter  a  profession,  29  contemplated  entering  business, 
and  the  remainder  were  undecided  as  to  their  future  occu- 
pation. Of  the  professional  men  38  intended  to  study  law, 
17  medicine,  8  teaching,  4  theology,  1  civil  engineering,  1 
mechanical  engineering,  and  1  chemistry. 

Presentation  day  was  Monday,  June  26,  when  Whitney 
read  the  class  poem  and  Storrs  delivered  the  oration.  Com- 
mencement exercises  were  held  in  Center  Church  on  Wed- 
nesday, June  28,  with  the  ceremonies  then  customary,  John- 
son being  our  valedictorian  and  Abbott  our  salutatorian. 
And  so,  having  "made  good  friends  and  studied— some," 
we  left  our  Mother's  sheltering  arms  and  hopefully  started 
on  our  journey  of  life.

RETROSPECTIVE 

MORE  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  has  elapsed  since  '82 
passed  from  the  campus,  and  during  that  long  inter- 
val many  matters  of  individual  and  general  consequence  have 
occurred.  A  few  of  our  number  have  become  famous  and  a 
few  wealthy.  Most  of  the  class  have  made  honorable  rec- 
ords and  maintained  a  good  position  in  society  and  in  their 
respective  callings.  Some  of  our  strongest  and  our  best 
have  crossed  the  great  divide,  their  careers,  so  full  of  prom- 
ise, cut  short,  their  hopes,  so  vivid  and  enthusiastic,  withered 
and  dead.  The  College  has  become  only  a  part,  though  still 
a  large  part,  of  the  University;  the  old  brick  row  has  disap- 
peared, together  with  the  fence  as  we  knew  it;  many  of  the 
elms  have  been  sacrificed,  and  the  places  which  knew  them 
are  now  the  sites  of  imposing  buildings.  Instead  of  one 
campus  there  are  three,  while  Sachem's  Wood  is  taking 
form  as  a  university  field  which  in  the  not  distant  future 
promises  to  surpass  all  others.  But  the  little  oak  still  thrives, 
the  old  spirit  survives,  and  the  Yale  of  to-day  is  in  all  essen- 
tials the  Yale  of  '82.  "Though  much  is  taken  much  abides," 
and  though  to  the  long  absent  one  returning  the  surround- 
ings are  strange  and  unfamiliar,  the  old  college  is  still  the 
Alma  Mater  and  the  tie  of  kinship  remains  unweakened.

OUR  INSTRUCTORS 

THE  intellectual  atmosphere  of  the  western  slope  of 
the  Rockies  is  more  hospitable  to  irrigation  plans 
and  railway  projects  than  to  educational  matters.  And  if 
it  is  a  relief  to  me  to  turn  away  for  a  while  from  such 
material  preoccupations,  and  in  obedience  to  our  class 
secretary's  request  try  to  catch  some  memories  of  the  Yale 
life  of  thirty  years  ago,  nevertheless  the  limitations  to  my 
sketch  of  our  instructors  must  be  obvious.  Look,  then, 
for  no  complete  account  of  the  after  lives  of  the  men  who 
awed  us  even  if  they  sometimes  won  our  admiration  in  our 
college  recitation-rooms  — for  such  they  were  in  those  days 
rather  than  lecture-halls.  Do  not  expect  from  me  any 
adequate  judgment  upon  the  educational  value  of  their 
methods  or  their  ideals.  Dillingham  has  sent  me  the  ad- 
mirable article  by  Professor  Williams  of  '79  on  the  subject, 
and  good  reading  it  is.  For  a  comprehensive  survey  of 
the  Yale  professors  and  tutors  of  our  time  and  a  well-poised 
appreciation  of  their  work,  go  to  that  '79  Class  Book,  for, 
with  few  exceptions,  our  instructors  were  the  same. 

It  was  the  tutors  to  whom  the  duty  fell  of  molding  our 
minds  by  the  rigorous  curriculum  of  Greek  and  Latin  and 
mathematics,  as  we  freshmen,  confident  or  timid  as  the  case 
might  be,  stepped  out  from  the  narrow  confines  of  our  pre- 
paratory schools  into  the  ampler  spaces  of  the  college. 
Beebe,  Perrin,  Phillips,  Robbins,  Peters,  and  Tarbell— I 
think  that  was  the  list  of  our  regular  freshman  tutors. 

Who  does  not  remember  the  enthusiasm  of  Tutor  Phil- 
lips? If  spherical  trigonometry  and  analytical  geometry 
never  took  deep  root  in  my  un-mathematical  mind,  it  was  not 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

his  fault.  A  true  teacher,  in  love  with  his  subject,  winning 
us  by  suggestions  of  undreamed-of  mysteries  like  the  fourth 
dimension,  illustrating  his  teaching  by  strange  models,  al- 
ways kindly  tolerant  of  our  crude  mistakes,  shaming  us  out 
of  our  laziness  by  his  assumption  of  interest  on  our  part- 
it  is  a  pleasure  to  recall  his  personality.  I  think  we  learned 
more  from  him  than  we  could  then  realize,  and  every 
member  of  '82  must  rejoice  at  his  well-earned  promotion  to 
a  foremost  place  in  the  Yale  mathematical  faculty  and  a 
leading  position  in  the  educational  world.  May  the  uni- 
versity long  enjoy  the  fruits  of  his  splendid  abilities ! 

Our  other  mathematical  teacher,  Mr.  Beebe,  of  a  differ- 
ent temperament,  no  doubt,  accomplished  his  work  with  un- 
swerving fidelity  to  the  highest  standards.  There  was  no 
romance  about  his  classroom;  there  mental  discipline 
reigned.  Frank  Abbott  (who  ought  to  have  written 
this  entire  article)  has  set  down  some  reminiscences, 
and  what  he  says  about  Tutor  Beebe  will  find  a  response  in 
many  minds : 

"One  member  of  the  class,  at  least,  looks  back  with  much 
gratitude  to  the  training  in  precision  and  accuracy  which 
he  set  up  as  his  ideal.  With  him  no  slovenliness  in  thinking 
or  in  expression  was  tolerated.  The  line  of  demarcation 
between  what  a  man  knew  and  what  he  didn't  know  was 
clearly  drawn,  and  was  made  apparent  to  himself,  as  well 
as  to  the  rest  of  the  class.  In  Mr.  Beebe's  classroom 
every  man  stood  at  attention,  for  he  didn't  know  when 
the  dread  sentence  would  come  out,  'Jones,  you  may  take 
it  up  there,'  and  no  light  upon  the  location  of  'there'  or 
the  sequence  to  'there'  was  to  be  had  from  the  instructor. 
What  an  anxious  moment  that  was  when  you  stepped  to 
the  blackboard,  pointer  in  hand,  with  dry  lips  and  quaking 
knees,  to  follow  the  arcs,  tangents,  chords,  and  segments 
which  your  lucky  predecessor  had  turned  over  to  you ! 
Haec  jam  meminisse  juvat." 


OUR  INSTRUCTORS 

It  is  not  so  much  the  things  they  tried  to  teach  us  as  the 
personalities  of  our  teachers  that  left  the  most  lasting  im- 
pression on  our  youthful  minds.  I  enjoyed  Tutor  Tarbell's 
courses,  and  I  then  thought  I  knew  some  Greek.  But  his 
austere,  almost  ascetic  appearance  is  what  clings  in  my 
memory.  One  evening  he  was  a  visitor  at  some  society  meet- 
ing, when  a  debate  was  on  about  free  trade  and  protection 
(we  had  not  then  had  the  luminous  lectures  of  Professor 
Sumner),  and  I  well  remember  how  I  gained  an  added 
respect  for  our  Greek  tutor's  versatility  and  logical  intellect 
as  he  quietly  punctured  the  hazy  generalizations  of  our  argu- 
ments with  a  few  concrete  facts,  deftly  indicating  their  appli- 
cation to  either  side  of  the  question. 

Tutors  Robbins  and  Henry  Farnam  both,  as  I  remem- 
ber, guided  us  in  our  Latin  study  (the  latter  in  our  sopho- 
more year),  but  they  were  not  destined  to  remain  in  this 
sphere  of  work.  The  former  was  about  to  enter  upon  his 
honorable  career  at  the  Connecticut  bar.  The  latter  has 
devoted  himself  to  economic  studies,  and  in  that  department 
has  achieved  a  notable  reputation,  adding  luster  to  the  uni- 
versity. He  won  our  respect  by  his  unfailing  courtesy;  and, 
as  partakers  of  his  genial  hospitality,  many  of  us  callow 
youth  were  initiated  into  a  larger  world  of  social  amenities. 

Tutor  John  P.  Peters  was  a  Nemesis  to  many  of  the 
class,  but  I  am  thankful  that  some  fate  led  me  to  listen 
to  certain  evening  readings  he  gave  in  the  Odyssey,  open  to 
all  who  chose  to  come.  It  is  a  commentary  upon  our 
old  methods  of  instruction  that  I,  at  least,  owe  to  these 
free  readings,  rather  than  to  any  prescribed  course,  some 
insight  into  the  glory  of  the  old  Greek  world,  and  the 
beauty  of  the  Homeric  poems.  For  this  enlargement  of 
the  intellectual  horizon  I  am  glad  to  record  my  gratitude 
to  one  who,  probably  owing  to  the  ill-judged  methods  of 
discipline  then  in  vogue,  won  a  reputation  among  Yale 
undergraduates    aptly    characterized    by    Professor    Will-

iams,  who  says  that  Peters  "will  ever  be  remembered  by 
the  class  of  '79  as  the  Thing  it  came  up  against."  Dr.  Peters 
has  earned  his  laurels  since  then  in  several  widely  dif- 
ferent spheres;  and  some  of  us  who  have  known  him  in 
his  later  career  honor  him  as  a  friend  no  less  than  as  a 
scholar,  a  preacher,  and  a  leader  in  practical  social  re- 
form. 

An  additional  commentary  upon  those  educational 
methods  which  Yale  has  outgrown  is  afforded  by  Profes- 
sor Abbott,  from  whose  notes  I  again  quote  in  regard  to 
another  of  our  tutors:  "Professor  Bernadotte  Perrin  be- 
gan his  long  and  honorable  career  as  instructor  and  pro- 
fessor of  Greek  with  our  class  in  its  freshman  year.  The 
subject  was  the  Odyssey,  in  which  even  the  fourth 
division  would  have  felt  a  chastened  pleasure  under 
Professor  Perrin's  instructions,  had  it  not  been  for  the 
fact  that,  by  an  unkind  decree  of  the  faculty,  we  were 
doomed  to  read  a  book  abounding  in  myths,  and  the  sys- 
tem of  instruction  adopted  made  it  necessary  for  us  to 
familiarize  ourselves  with  all  the  relatives  of  each  god, 
demigod,  and  hero  to  the  most  remote  generation.  It 
proved  to  be  an  excellent  system  of  mnemonics  for  those 
of  us  whose  brains  were  equal  to  the  strain,  and  Profes- 
sor Perrin  softened  the  rigor  of  the  system  as  much  as 
possible,  but  we  failed  to  catch  a  glimpse  of  the  poet  through 
the  genealogies." 

Upon  the  work  of  another  of  our  sophomore  teachers, 
Alfred  Thacher,  I  shall  also  borrow  Abbott's  words, 
for  it  is  good  for  us  to  catch  the  point  of  view  of  one 
who  is  at  home  in  that  Augustan  world  which  to  most 
of  us,  perhaps,  is  but  a  world  of  shadowy  figures:  "With 
Mr.  Thacher  as  guide  we  accompanied  Horace  from 
Rome  to  Brundisium,  we  strolled  with  him  in  Rome 
along  the  Sacred  Way,  and  we  shared  the  poet's  simple 
fare  while  we  listened  to  Cervius'  story  of  the  city  mouse

and  the  country  mouse.  To  Mr.  Thacher  we  owed  an 
introduction  to  all  these  delightful  experiences,  although 
far  be  it  from  me  to  suggest  that  we  appreciated  our  good 
fortune  at  the  time.  But  a  wider  acquaintance  with  life 
and  a  better  knowledge  of  the  Roman  poet  have  shown  us 
the  debt  of  gratitude  which  we  owe  to  our  former  instruc- 
tor." 

Professors  Wright  and  Northrop  were,  I  suppose  we 
must  all  feel,  the  prominent  personalities  of  our  sopho- 
more classrooms.  Honored  names  both!  Professor  Henry 
Wright  is  too  well  known  to  need  any  extended  re- 
hearsal of  his  sterling  work.  He  was  my  division  of- 
ficer (we  had  no  deans  then).  Unerringly  just,  yet  kind, 
I  knew  him.  And  I  do  not  wonder  at  the  supreme  suc- 
cess of  his  later  work  as  dean. 

As  head  of  the  department  of  English  literature 
Cyrus  Northrop  never  sat  stiffly  in  his  professor's  chair. 
A  certain  expansive  good  nature  was  temperamental 
with  him,  even  when  we  must  have  bored  him  with  our 
crude  literary  efforts.  In  the  administrative  work  of 
upbuilding  the  University  of  Minnesota  until  it  has  be- 
come one  of  the  great  institutions  of  the  West,  he  found 
his  true  career.  His  bonhomie  has  never  deserted  him;  and  I 
suppose  many  an  old  Yale  man  has  been  delighted,  as 
I  have  been,  to  meet  in  later  years  the  kindly  encourage- 
ment he  has  always  been  forward  to  give. 

In  junior  year  we  had  chemistry  under  Professor  Arthur 
Wright,  and  physics  and  mechanics  under  Tutor  (as  he 
then  was)  Edward  Dana.  Had  the  Yale  traditions  of 
those  days  admitted  such  laboratory  work  as  now  uni- 
versally prevails,  scientific  studies  under  these  men  would 
have  been  more  worth  while  for  all  of  us.  But  their 
great  abilities  were  not  obscured  in  our  eyes,  even  under 
the  bookish  methods  which  cramped  their  work.  And 
though    some    of   us    may    have    failed    to    appreciate    the

sciences  they  taught,  they  both  had  the  respect  and  lik- 
ing of  us  all.  I  well  remember  one  day,  when,  being 
asked  by  Mr.  Dana  to  describe  "convection,"  I  endea- 
vored by  much  talking  to  cloud  over  the  fact  that  I  had 
not  obtained  the  faintest  idea  from  the  book-definition, 
but  I  could  not  withstand  the  gentle  astonishment  in 
Dana's  clear-eyed  gaze,  and  I  sat  down  confused,  yet 
acknowledging  him  to  be  a  gentleman  even  when  he 
flunked  me. 

It  was  the  privilege  of  our  class  in  junior  year  to  have 
for  our  instructor  in  logic  Arthur  Twining  Hadley,  who, 
in  the  same  year  when  '82  entered  Yale,  had  become  a 
member  of  the  faculty,  showing  his  versatility  by  teach- 
ing successively  German,  Greek,  and  logic.  Abbott  re- 
calls some  interesting  experiences:  "After  some  training 
in  logic,  we  acquired  a  certain  facility  in  dealing  with  fal- 
lacies. With  the  aid  of  clues  which  our  predecessors  had 
set  down  in  the  second-hand  copies  of  Jevons,  secured  at 
Gulliver's,  we  almost  always  scored  a  fall  out  of  'the 
undivided  middle'  and  'the  false  major  premise.'  It  was 
an  interesting  game.  In  addition  to  the  fallacies  which 
Jevons  furnished,  Mr.  Hadley  gave  us,  from  time  to 
time,  others  of  his  own  invention.  These  ranged  all  the 
way  from  topics  in  theology  and  political  economy  to  the 
odds  in  betting.  One  Friday,  late  in  November,  in  dis- 
cussing some  fallacy,  he  was  remarking  upon  the  doc- 
trine of  chances  to  the  class,  which  was  listening  with  a 
successful  simulation  of  absorbed  interest,  when,  with 
that  impetuosity  of  manner  which  was  not  unusual  with 
him,  he  said:  'Now,  if  I  were  betting  on  the  Harvard  foot- 
ball game  to-morrow — '  It  was  a  master-stroke.  No 
man  dared  spend  his  time  in  the  classroom  day-dream- 
ing after  that,  when  there  was  always  a  chance  of  pick- 
ing up  a  bit  of  expert  information  which  might  be  valu- 
able in  a  field  really  important."     We  could  not  know  in 


OUR  INSTRUCTORS 

those  days  that  the  presidency  of  Yale  awaited  Mr. 
Hadley,  and  that  the  Yale  of  our  day,  with  its  halting 
educational  methods,  would  under  his  administration  be 
developed  into  a  great  modern  university.  But  it  re- 
quired no  prophet  to  foresee  that  great  things  awaited 
him. 

We  studied  German  under  Tutor  Zacher  and  Profes- 
sor Carter,  another  man  destined  for  a  college  presidency. 

Professor  Newton  may  not  have  been  known  to  many 
of  us,  but  as  the  conditions  of  a  scholarship  which  I  hap- 
pened to  get  in  freshman  year  demanded  that  I  should 
take  calculus,  it  was  my  lot  to  come  under  his  instruction. 
It  was  delightful  to  see  the  pleasure  which  he  seemed  to 
take  in  the  abstruse  mysteries  of  a  study  of  which  I 
never  got  more  than  a  most  remote  view. 

Professor  Tracy  Peck,  the  Latinist,  and  Professor 
Seymour,  the  Atticist,  were  new  instructors  in  our  time. 
Latin  and  Greek  being  optional  in  junior  year,  the  major- 
ity of  our  class  did  not  come  in  contact  with  these  scholars  in 
the  classrooms.  They  were  both  imbued  with  the  ideals  of 
modern  education,  and  I  believe  could  have  taught  us 
much,   had  we  given  them   the  opportunity. 

I  am  sorry  that  I  did  not  take  English  literature  under 
Professor  Beers.  Appreciation  of  his  profound  scholar- 
ship and  his  refined  literary  taste  was  lacking  among  us 
college  youth,  for  the  most  part  — owing  partly,  no  doubt, 
to  what  seemed  great  reserve  of  character— a  fact  which 
leads  not  a  few  of  us  to  vain  regrets  in  after  years. 

Xor  was  I  of  the  discerning  group  who  elected  the 
course  in  American  history  with  Professor  Dexter.  But 
it  was  open  to  all  of  us  to  know  him  in  the  Library,  where 
we  found  him  indeed  a  gracious  host.  Xo  one  who  went 
there  for  things  which  the  curriculum  did  not  give  us  will 
fail  to  remember  with  gratitude  his  sympathy  and  readi- 
ness   to    help.     I    suppose    many    of  us,  returning  in  later 

D3n

years,  have  been  surprised  to  find  how  accurately  he  re- 
membered us.  His  heart  has  ever  been  in  Yale,  and  with 
Yale  men  in  their  work  in  life;  and  a  figure  like  his,  so 
closely  associated  with  her  academic  shades,  is  one  of  the 
memories  we  can  least  afford  to  spare. 

While  some  figures  undoubtedly  have  passed  from  my 
mind,  of  men  who  in  those  days  loomed  large,  I  cannot 
omit  a  reference  to  the  good  work  of  Professor  Mark 
Bailey,  who  as  professor  of  elocution  directed  our  work 
in  preparing  for  the  junior  ex.  and  for  the  commence- 
ment speeches.  I  now  wish  I  had  attended  more  to  his 
valuable  suggestions.  Probably,  also,  there  is  good 
reason  for  me  to  regret  that,  being  an  Episcopalian,  I  had 
very  little  opportunity  of  hearing  the  preaching  of  Dr. 
Barbour,  the  college  pastor.  The  impression,  however, 
which  I  obtained  from  the  daily  chapel  exercises  and 
from  his  demeanor  as  we  met  him  on  the  campus,  inspires 
the  belief  that  he  was  hardly  what  in  the  West  is  called 
"a  mixer." 

Of  the  instructors  of  our  senior  year,  Sumner  and 
Wheeler  stand  out  conspicuous,  I  suppose,  in  the  memory 
of  every  member  of  the  class.  Strong  personalities,  yet 
of  very  diverse  temperament,  they  taught  us  more  than 
any  others  of  our  staff  the  necessity  of  clear  thought 
grounded  upon  careful  induction.  It  is  true  that  they 
taught  subjects  for  which  our  minds  were  then  probably 
better  fitted  than  they  were  for  the  abstract  subjects  with 
which  our  President  dealt.  The  scintillating  brilliancy  of 
Professor  Sumner's  lectures  on  economics  will  never  be 
forgotten.  That  you  cannot  "get  something  out  of  noth- 
ing" is  a  truth  which  he  illustrated  with  infinite  variety. 
And  for  this  we  must  ever  be  grateful,  even  if  some  of 
us  have  moved  (whether  it  is  advance  or  retrogression 
this  is  not  the  place  to  say)  away  from  the  standpoint  of 
enlightened     individualism,     of     which    Professor    Sumner

was  so  distinguished  a  representative.  Professor  Wheeler 
might  not  soar  like  his  colleague,  but  he  left  us  no  excuse 
for  failing  to  get  some  understanding  of  the  mighty  sweep 
of  historical  forces. 

Of  Professor  E.  J.  Phelps,  Professor  Abbott  writes 
an  appreciation,  which  all  will  be  glad  to  read:  "It  was  a 
difficult  task  to  teach  to  undergraduates  a  subject  so  far 
removed  from  common  experience  as  international  law. 
It  was  a  difficult  thing  for  an  instructor  accustomed  to 
the  more  serious-minded  professional  students  of  a  law 
school  to  adapt  himself  to  academic  students.  Both  of 
these  things  Professor  E.  J.  Phelps  accomplished  with 
great  skill.  Such  lectures  as  he  gave  us  on  his  subject  are 
rarely  heard  on  this  side  the  ocean.  In  their  lucidity  and 
charm  of  expression  they  suggested  the  Sorbonne,  and 
reminded  one  of  the  finished  discourses  of  a  Boissier  or 
a  Martha.  Professor  Phelps  had  already  won  distinc- 
tion as  a  jurist  when  he  came  to  Yale.  A  still  greater 
honor  came  to  him  later  when  President  Cleveland  ap- 
pointed him  Ambassador  to  the  Court  of  St.  James.  We 
who  had  listened  to  his  lectures  in  the  Old  Chapel  were 
not  astonished  to  hear  of  the  delight  which  his  public 
addresses  in  England  gave,  and  those  of  us  who  came  to 
know  him  personally  after  graduation  were  not  surprised 
to  learn  that  our  cousins  across  the  water  found  his  con- 
versation  and  manner  equally  charming." 

WTho  does  not  honor  the  memory  of  the  elder  Dana, 
whose  long  life  of  devotion  to  science  shed  a  glory  over 
old  Yale?  In  the  classroom,  I  think,  we  did  not  feel  his 
worth,  but  if  a  single-hearted  enthusiasm  for  his  subject 
did  not  meet  with  the  response  from  us  that  it  deserved, 
there  were  few  of  us  who  were  not  ready  to  yield  him  the 
respect  due  to  his  simple  dignity  of  character  no  less  than 
his  hoary  head.

Yale  in  our  senior  year.  The  metaphysical  habit  of  mind 
was  not  largely  developed  in  any  of  us,  and  I  fear  that 
most  of  us  were  not  attracted  by  this  prescribed  course. 
Professor  Ladd  was  a  leader,  however,  even  if  we  did 
not  all  know  it  then,  in  that  experimental  psychology 
through  which  such  great  results  have  been  accomplished. 
I  think  a  few  of  our  more  mature  men,  having  the  good 
judgment  to  take  an  optional  in  this  subject  with  him, 
found  reason  to  be  thankful  for  the  choice. 

In  regard  to  President  Porter  also,  I  think  our  recol- 
lections do  not  rest  very  affectionately  on  the  studies  of 
the  classroom.  But  of  his  lovable  personality  there  can 
be  among  us  but  one  verdict.  If  we  did  not  care  for 
"The  Law  of  Love  and  Love  as  a  Law"  as  a  text-book, 
we  nevertheless  were  conscious  that  "Prexy"  really  guided 
his  honorable  life  by  the  law  of  love.  It  is  no  doubt  true 
that  the  advance  of  Yale  in  educational  methods  was  re- 
tarded by  the  policy  for  which  President  Porter  allowed 
himself  to  stand.  Yet,  if  gentleness  of  spirit  and  tolerance 
and  fair-mindedness  count  for  anything,  we  Yale  men  who 
came  under  his  influence  may  have  received  benefits  which 
we  could  not  then  measure. 

In  fact,  this  may  be  said  of  most  of  those  men  whose 
work  I  have  so  imperfectly  reviewed,  that,  if  wiser  me- 
thods might  have  enriched  our  intellectual  inheritance  and 
given  us  a  better  hold  upon  the  problems  of  life,  yet  in  the 
sphere  of  character,  in  those  elements  of  personal  life 
which  lie  so  much  deeper  than  the  intellect,  they  probably 
helped  us  more  than  we  can  ever  know. 

Benjamin  Brewster.

REUNIONS 

(CONDENSED   FROM   CLASS  records) 

OX  June  28,  1882,  the  ties  which  had  bound  '82  to  New 
Haven  were  broken,  and  the  band  of  men  who  as 
boys  had  corne  together  four  years  before  at  the  Grammar 
School  rush,  and  had  worked  and  played  together,  whose 
numbers  had  now  been  reduced  by  cruel  fate  to  one  hundred 
and  nineteen,  was  scattered  to  the  four  quarters  of  the 
country.  Some  immediately  entered  upon  the  work  for 
which  the  four  years  had  been  a  training  and  an  inspiration; 
some  were  privileged  to  prolong,  for  a  little  while,  the  col- 
lege associations  before  they,  too,  essayed  to  take  the  places 
in  the  world  for  which  our  Fostering  Mother  had  done  her 
best  to  prepare  us. 

Our  TRIENNIAL  in  June,  1885,  seemed  a  long  way  off,  but 
it  came  at  last  and  brought  seventy-three  of  us  together  at 
New  Haven.  By  the  Saturday  evening  before  commence- 
ment we  had  gathered  together  a  goodly  crowd,  and  the 
event  was  duly  celebrated.  Sunday,  Monday,  and  Tuesday 
brought  many  more,  and  in  all  the  following  members  of 
the  class  reported:  Abbott,  Allen  (J.  F.),  Allen  (M.  S.),

At  the  business  meeting  Abbott  was  chosen  chairman,  and 
Brewster  was  elected  to  respond  for  the  class  at  the  alumni 
dinner  on  commencement  day. 

In  the  evening  at  seven  o'clock  we  gathered  about  our  flag 
at  the  fence,  and,  headed  by  a  band  of  music,  marched 
around  the  college  buildings  and  then  proceeded  to  the  resi- 
dence of  President  Porter,  on  Hillhouse  Avenue.  The  Presi- 
dent was  not  at  home,  but  a  hearty  three  times  three  was 
given  for  him,  and  the  line  of  march  to  the  Athenaeum  was 
resumed,  a  halt  being  made  for  cheers  at  the  house  of  ex- 
President  Woolsey. 

At  eight  o'clock  the  class  filed  into  the  Athenaeum,  on 
Church  Street,  and  found  the  galleries  crowded  with  ladies 
and  their  escorts,  who  were  there  to  witness  the  presentation 
of  the  class  cup. 

Sixty-nine  members  of  the  class  and  four  former  mem- 
bers—Dickinson, F.  W.  Clark,  Folsom,  and  Seymour — mak- 
ing seventy-three  in  all,  seated  themselves  about  the  tables, 
and  after  singing  "Here  's  to  '82"  were  called  to  order  by 
Piatt,  who,  as  chairman  of  the  cup  committee,  acted  as  pre- 
siding officer  and  toast-master.  He  opened  the  ceremonies 
with  a  few  words  of  welcome  and  introduced  Whitney,  the 
poet  of  the  occasion.  The  reading  of  the  poem  was  con- 
tinually interrupted  by  laughter  and  applause. 

Then  followed  the  event  of  the  evening,  the  presentation 
of  the  cup  to  Russell  Yale  Hanlon,  the  Class  Boy.  The  boy 
was  there,  looking  his  prettiest,  and  so  were  his  proud 
parents. 

The  presentation  speech,  which  was  made  by  Beach,  kept 
the  class  and  the  audience  in  the  galleries  in  an  uproar  of

REUNIONS 

merriment,  and  even  the  baby  expressed  so  much  enthusiasm 
as  to  be  heard  above  all  the  rest. 

Hanlon  accepted  the  cup  in  behalf  of  his  infant  son  and 
thanked  the  class  in  appropriate  words,  and  in  conclusion 
presented  each  member  with  a  photograph  of  the  boy. 

The  cup  was  then  filled  with  champagne,  and  after  the 
baby  had  taken  a  pull  at  it,  and  while  he  was  crying  for 
more,  it  was  passed  around  the  table,  and  everybody  drank 
his  health. 

During  the  dinner  the  class  was  entertained  by  listening

"  Happy  the  man  whom  thus  his  stars  advance ! 
The  curse  is  general,  but  the  blessing  chance."  —Parnell. 

Dear  Old  Yale,  Charles  B.  Storrs 

"But  to  see  her  was  to  love  her, 
Love  but  her,  and  love  forever." — Burns. 

Owing  to  the  absence  of  Holland,  Gallaher,  and  Bruce, 
the  toasts  to  which  they  had  been  assigned  wrere  omitted: 
but  impromptu  speeches  on  various  subjects  by  Bill  Pollock, 
Jonas  Long,  and  others  served  to  fill  the  gaps  in  the  pro- 
gram. 

Later  in  the  evening  the  class  of  '75,  which  was  celebrat- 
ing its  decennial  in  an  adjoining  room,  paid  us  the  honor  of 
a  visit  and  received  a  cordial  welcome. 

At  last  the  festivities  of  the  dinner  were  ended,  and  the 
class  made  its  way  to  the  campus,  where  a  bonfire  was 
lighted,  and  before  the  morning  of  commencement  day  had 
dawned  the  good  people  of  the  neighborhood  had  reason  to 
know  that  the  "glorious  class  of  '82"  was  again  in  town. 

Our  SEXENNIAL  convened  on  June  26,  1888.  About 
thirty-five  members  of  the  class  attended  the  business  meet- 
ing, which  was  held  at  Room  B,  Cabinet  Building,  at  eleven 
o'clock  on  Tuesday  morning. 

J.  Howard  Pratt,  Jr.,  was  chosen  chairman.  Messrs. 
Knapp,  Pember,  and  Osborne  were  appointed  a  committee 
on  obituary  resolutions. 

The  thanks  of  the  class  were  unanimously  tendered  to 
the  secretary  for  his  past  services,  and  he  was  thereupon 
instructed  to  prepare  and  publish  a  sexennial  record,  and 
to  include  in  it,  besides  those  who  graduated,  all  who  were 
with  the  class  more  than  one  year.

REUNIONS 

J.  Howard  Pratt,  Jr.,  was  elected  to  respond  for  the  class 
at  the  alumni  dinner  on  commencement  day. 

After  the  adjournment  of  the  business  meeting,  a  class 
prayer-meeting  was  held  at  Dwight  Hall,  and  at  the  alumni 
meeting,  which  was  held  at  the  same  time,  Badger  was 
spokesman  for  the  class. 

In  the  afternoon  Yale  beat  Harvard  at  the  Yale  Field  in 
a  baseball  game,  on  the  result  of  which  the  championship 
depended. 

Immediately  after  the  return  from  the  ball  game  the 
members  of  the  class  assembled  at  the  fence,  and,  headed 
by  the  American  Band  and  preceded  by  the  class  of  '78, 
marched  to  the  corner  of  Church  and  Chapel  Streets,  where 
horse-cars  were  waiting  to  convey  them  to  Hill's  Home- 
stead, at  Savin  Rock,  for  the  sexennial  dinner.  The  classes 
of  '53  and  '78  dined  in  separate  apartments  at  the  same 
place  and  time. 

The  liquid  department  was  under  the  able  management 
of  J.  P.  Kellogg,  and  the  liberality  of  those  who  attended 
the  dinner  enabled  him  to  conduct  it  on  a  generous  scale. 

There  were  no  regular  toasts  to  be  responded  to,  but 
everybody  was  given  an  opportunity  to  display  his  eloquence 
if  he  had  any. 

The  dinner,  while  it  was  orderly,  was  informal,  and  for 
that  reason  seemed  to  be  the  more  enjoyed. 

During  its  progress  a  committee  from  the  class  of  '78 
entered  the  room,  bearing  the  compliments  of  that  class  and 
also  a  bottle  of  wine,  both  of  which  were  presented  with 
appropriate  words. 

At  the  same  time  Lyman,  in  behalf  of  '82,  visited  both 
'53  and  '78  and  presented  each  with  a  similar  token  of 
esteem. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  dinner  it  was  learned  that  Ab- 
bott, who  had  recently  been  married,  was  spending  his 
honeymoon  at  a  cottage  near  by.     It  was  decided  to  rout

him  out  and  demand  an  explanation  of  his  absence  from  the 
festivities.  The  class,  headed  by  the  band,  proceeded  to 
the  cottage,  where,  after  a  protracted  serenade  and  loud 
calls  for  Abbott,  the  information  was  obtained  that  he  was 
at  the  Sea  View  House.  Thither  the  class  immediately  be- 
took itself,  and  shortly  after  it  had  made  its  presence  known 
Abbott  appeared  on  the  upper  piazza,  showing  evidences  of 
a  decidedly  hasty  toilet,  and  in  eloquent  words  endeavored 
to  calm  his  excited  classmates.  Nothing  would  satisfy  them, 
however,  but  that  he  should  accompany  them  back  to  Hill's, 
and,  rather  than  argue  the  question,  he  yielded  to  their 
wishes. 

It  was  a  late  hour  when  the  classes  of  '78  and  '82  marched 
up  Chapel  Street  to  the  campus  amid  a  blaze  of  red  fire  and 
Roman  candles,  but  plenty  of  graduates  and  undergraduates 
were  on  hand  to  join  them  in  the  powwow  around  the  bon- 
fire and  in  songs  upon  the  fence. 

The  sexennial  committee  consisted  of  F.  A.  Kellogg,  J.  P. 
Kellogg,  Knapp,  Osborne,  and  Pardee,  and  received  many 
well-deserved  assurances  that  the  meeting  had  been  a  suc- 
cessful and  much  enjoyed  one. 

The  following  members  of  the  class  attended  the  dinner: 
Allen  (M.  S.),  Badger,  Barbour,  Bate,  Bates,  Billings,  Bolt- 
wood,  Brinton,  Brockway,  Cragin,  Curtis,  Dickinson,  Dil- 
lingham, Eno,  Foote,  Gallaher,  Graves  (C.  B.),  Graves 
(G.  H.),  Haskell,  Kellogg  (F.  A.),  Kellogg  (J.  P.), 
Knapp,  Loomis,  Lyman,  Osborne,  Page,  Palmer,  Pardee, 
Parsons,  Pember,  Pollock,  Pratt,  Sanford,  Shoemaker, 
Smith,  Welch,  Whitney,  Williams  (H.  L.). 

In  addition  to  the  above  the  following  were  in  New 
Haven  at  some  time  during  commencement  week,  but  were 
unable  to  attend  the  dinner:  Bruce,  Campbell,  Hopkins, 
Lewis,  Rossiter,  Silver  (L.  M.). 

We  celebrated  our  DECENNIAL  anniversary  on  Tuesday, 
June  28,   1892.     A  business  meeting  was  held  at  No.   176

REUNIONS 

Lyceum  in  the  morning,  followed  by  a  luncheon  at  the  resi- 
dence of  Billings.  In  the  afternoon  we  went  to  the  ball 
game,  and  in  the  evening  had  our  dinner  at  the  old  Church 
Street  Opera  House.  About  fifty  members  of  the  class 
attended.  Habenstein  of  Hartford  catered,  and  Pope's 
Military  Band,  also  of  Hartford,  furnished  the  music  for 
the  afternoon  and  evening.  Those  attending  the  reunion 
were:  Allen  (J.  F.),  Allen  (M.  S.),  Badger,  Baltz,  Bate, 
Beach,  Beede,  Billings,  Boltwood,  Brewster,  Brinton,  Brock- 
way,  Bronson,  Bruce,  Clement,  Curtis,  Eaton,  Eno,  Farwell, 
Foote,  Graves  (C.  B.),  Graves  (G.  H.),  Haskell,  Hebard, 
Hopkins,  Kellogg  (J.  P.),  Kingman,  Knapp,  Lay,  Lewis, 
Loomis,  Lovering,  Lyman,  McBride,  McKnight,  Osborne, 
Page,  Palmer,  Pardee,  Parsons,  Pember,  Piatt,  Rice,  Scud- 
der,  Silver  (L.  M.),  Storrs,  Welch,  Welles,  Wells. 

The  first  of  our  NEW  YORK  CLASS  DINNERS  was 
held  at  the  Arena,  in  West  Thirty-first  Street,  on  April  18, 
1896.  There  were  present  the  following  men:  Baltz,  Bate, 
Billings,  Brockway,  Colgate,  Dillingham,  Ely,  Hopkins, 
Kellogg  (J.  P.),  Knapp,  Lewis,  Moodey,  Osborne,  Palmer, 
Parsons,   Piatt,  Stillman,   Storrs,  Welles,   Wells,  Williams 

(H.L.). 

These  New  York  dinners  have  now  become  annual  af- 
fairs. The  first  Friday  in  March  has  been  adopted  as  the 
date,  and  the  dinner  is  generally  held  at  the  Yale  Club. 
There  are  usually  thirty  or  forty  men  attending. 

Dillingham  has  presented  a  loving-cup  to  be  awarded 
each  year  to  the  "long-distance"  member  of  the  company, 
on  condition  that  if  it  be  won  by  the  same  man  for  three 
years  it  shall  become  his  own. 

At  almost  every  dinner  some  member  of  the  class  is  pres- 
ent who,  for  some  reason  or  other,  has  not  been  with  us  for 
a  long  time  previously,  and  the  annual  dinners  have  come 
to  be  regarded  as  oases  where  for  one  evening  we  live  over 
again  the  happy  days  of  the  past.  May  they  long  continue 
to  bring  many  of  us  together  each  year.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Our  QUINDECENNIAL  meeting  was  held  on  Tuesday, 
June  29,  1897,  and  was  attended  by  about  fifty  members. 
Osborne,  the  class  secretary,  called  the  meeting  to  order. 
The  Parting  Ode,  written  by  Whitney  for  the  class,  was  then 
sung.  A  vote  of  thanks  was  extended  to  the  committee  in 
charge  of  the  reunion.  Billings  again  kindly  invited  us  to 
take  luncheon  at  his  residence,  and  the  invitation  was  heart- 
ily accepted  by  all  present.  After  luncheon  the  class  attended 
the  Yale-Harvard  baseball  game,  and  Hatch's  Military 
Band  of  Hartford  furnished  the  music.  The  dinner  was 
held  at  the  Anderson  Gymnasium,  on  York  Street,  at  seven 
o'clock,  and  was  served  by  Sherry  of  New  York.  After  din- 
ner French  was  appointed  toast-master,  and  the  following 
men  responded  to  informal  toasts:  Foster,  Beach,  Lyman, 
and  Sanford.  A  flash-light  photograph  was  taken  while  the 
class  was  at  dinner.  There  were  present  the  following: 
Allen,  Badger,  Baltz,  Beach,  Beede,  Billings,  Brinton, 
Brockway,  Bronson,  Bruce,  Clement,  Colgate,  Cragin,

lowing forty-four  members  of  '82;  Allen  (J.  F.),  Allen 
(M.  S.),  Badger,  Baltz,  Barbour,  Bartlett,  Bate,  Billings, 
Brinton,  Bronson,  Bruce,  Clement,  Dillingham,  Eno,  Foote,

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Our  class  lunched  at  the  Quinnipiack  Club  on  Tuesday,  Oc- 
tober 22.  Every  one  who  attended  the  Bicentennial  will 
always  be  glad  to  have  been  there,  for  it  was  an  occasion 
never  to  be  forgotten. 

Our  VICENNIAL  meeting  was  held  on  June  24,  1902. 
Thirty-one  members  of  the  class  attended  the  business  meet- 
ing, which  was  held  at  F  1  Osborn  at  1 1  130  A.M.  Parsons 
called  the  meeting  to  order,  and  it  was  moved,  seconded, 
and  carried  that  Badger  act  as  chairman.  He  thereupon 
took  the  chair.  In  the  absence  of  the  secretary,  Palmer 
was  elected  secretary  pro  tern.  It  was  moved  by  Parsons 
that  there  be  elected  at  this  and  each  succeeding  meeting 
one  to  serve  as  president  of  the  class,  who  shall  preside  at 
all  meetings  of  the  class,  appoint  committees,  and  act  with 
the  secretary  in  furthering  the  interests  of  the  class.  The 
motion  being  duly  seconded  and  carried,  Knapp  was  put  in 
nomination  and  unanimously  elected.  He  then  took  the 
chair,  and,  on  motion  of  Badger,  the  thanks  of  the  class 
were  unanimously  extended  to  Osborne,  the  class  secretary, 
for  his  many  services  to  the  class.  Parsons  then  moved  that 
the  president  appoint  the  following  committees : 

Class  Dinners  in  New  Haven  and  elsewhere. 

Class  Book. 

Class  Finance. 

The  motion  was  seconded  and  carried. 

In  the  afternoon  the  class  attended  the  Yale-Harvard 
baseball  game,  accompanied  by  the  Waterbury  Military 
Band,  and  upon  their  return  the  class  picture  was  taken 
from  the  steps  of  the  Library. 

The  class  dinner  was  held  at  the  Anderson  Gymnasium, 
on  York  Street,  at  7  p.m.,  forty-one  members  and  three  non- 
graduates  being  present.  It  was  served  bv  Maresi  of  New 
York. 

Piatt  acted  as  toast-master;  there  were  no  regular  toasts

responded  to,  but  impromptu  speeches  were  made  by  many 
of  the  men  present,  all  resounding  with  praise  of  Yale  and 
'82.  The  Waterbury  Military  Band  was  in  attendance,  and 
the  speeches  were  interspersed  with  songs  and  music.  Dur- 
ing the  dinner  Knapp  announced  the  committees  which  he 
had  appointed  in  accordance  with  Parsons'  resolution— the 
following  (with  the  president  ex-officio  a  member  of  each 
committee)  to  serve  from  1902  to  1907: 

Dinners  and  Twenty-fifth  Reunion:  Parsons,  Lyman, 
J.  P.  Kellogg,  Pardee. 

Class  Book:  Dillingham,  Rice,  Palmer. 

Finance:  Welch,  Eno,  Farwell. 

There  were  present  at  the  dinner  the  following:  Allen  (J. 
F. ) ,  Allen  ( M.  S. ) ,  Atterbury,  Badger,  Bate,  Bates,  Bentley, 
Billings,  Brinton,  Bronson,  Dillingham,  Eno,  Farwell,  Foote, 
Graves  (G.  H.),  Griggs  (C.  M.),  Haskell,  Hawkes,  Hop- 
kins, Jefferds,  Kellogg  (J.  P.),  Kingman,  Knapp,  Loomis, 
Lyman,  McBride,  Moodey,  Osborne,  Palmer,  Pardee,  Par- 
sons, Pember,  Pierce,  Piatt,  Rice,  Richardson,  Schuyler, 
Shoemaker,  Snell,  Stillman,  Sweetser,  Welch,  Wells,  Wil- 
liams. 

During  the  following  five  years  the  annual  dinners  were 
held  in  New  York,  and  preparations  were  made  for  what 
was  to  be  our  greatest  and  best  gathering,  when  friends, 
some  unseen  for  twenty-five  years,  were  to  come  back  and 
drink  again  from  the  fountain  of  youth,  which  exists  for 
those  who  know  what  friendship  is,  and  who  have  tasted  the 
joys  of  companionship  under  the  elms  of  "dear  old  Yale."

THE  TWENTY-FIFTH   ANNIVERSARY 

The  most  elaborate  and  altogether  successful  twenty-five-year  re- 
union ever  held  by  any  class  in  New  Haven  was  probably  that  of  the 
class  of  1882  this  year. 

Alumni  Weekly,  Commencement  Number,  1907. 


THE  foregoing  quotation  is  no  eulogistic  exaggeration, 
but  the  expression  of  a  well-considered  and  apparently 
universal  opinion.  Our  late  reunion  was  as  perfect  in  whole 
and  detail  as  can  well  be  imagined.  With  every  wish  to 
avoid  extravagant  language,  it  can  truthfully  be  stated  that 
the  ideal  was  attained,  and  that,  while  other  classes  may  in 
the  future  approximate  or  perhaps  equal  the  success  of  '82, 
the  record  established  by  her  will  never  be  broken.  The 
committees  on  entertainment 
and  finance,  working  in  har- 
mony, organized  a  function 
based  on  correct  principles, 
and,  with  what  must  have  en- 
tailed immense  personal  effort, 
successfully  carried  through  its 
complex  arrangements  to  a 
complete  and  faultless  termi- 
nation. While  the  thanks  of 
the  class  are  due  to  each  and

every  member  of  both  commit-

vidious to  suggest  (contrary  to 
his  wishes)  that  without  the  un-

accomplished  would  have   been   impossible   of   attainment.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 


The  Club  House 


A  class  reunion,  while  primarily  intended  to  reunite  old 
friends,  awaken  sleeping  memories,  and  renew  the  feelings  of 
youth  and  good-fellowship,  has  also  the  broader  purpose  of 
arousing  the  spirit  of  college  loyalty.  Both  of  these  objects 
were  accomplished,  and  it  is  probably  true  that  few  of  those 
registered  left  New  Haven  without  a  greatly  quickened  love 
for  class  and  classmates,  and  a  deeper  veneration  for  the 
old  university  and  all  for  which  it  stands.  It  may  be  added 
that  every  man  likewise  experienced  a  stimulated  sense  of 
the  individual  obligation  which  corresponds  to  the  privi- 
leges conferred  by  Yale. 

The  unusual  success  of  the  celebration  may  be  attributed 
largely  to  the  fact  that,  by  reason  of  the  entire  expense 
being  made  a  first  charge  upon  the  class  fund,  all  financial 
difficulties  were  obliterated  from  the  minds  of  those  attend-

ing.  Moreover,  the  entertainment  committee,  recognizing 
the  requirements  of  men  arrived  at  middle  life,  made  them 
physically  comfortable,  and  so  arranged  that  physical  com- 
fort coincided  with  sociability  and  fraternity.  The  accom- 
modations of  the  Hutchinson  were  excellent,  while  the  club- 
house and  tent  were  unique, 
most  attractive,  and  highly 
practical.  At  no  hotel  in 
town  could  the  men  have 
found  better  sleeping-quar- 
ters than  were  furnished 
them,  and  the  club  formed 
a  center  to  which  all  instinc- 
tively drifted  when  other- 
wise disengaged.  The  house 
itself  is  the  well-known 
Thatcher  residence,  on 
Crown  Street,  and  the  man- 
sion was  completely  fur- 
nished by  the  committee, 
and  tastefully  decorated 
with  bright-colored  pictures 
loaned  through  Dillingham 
by  the  courtesy  of  Charles 
Scribner's  Sons  of  New 
York.  The  entire  yard  in 
the  rear  of  the  premises  was 
covered  with  a  large  tent  completely  draping  a  small  shade- 
tree  in  the  center,  and  fitted  with  round  tables  and  many 
easy  chairs.  Lighted  at  night  by  electricity  and  Chinese  lan- 
terns, and  abundantly  supplied  with  push-buttons,  it  formed 
a  delightful  lounging-place.  The  class  is  indebted  to  Loomis 
for  the  idea  and  its  realization.  The  whole  club  was  in 
charge  of  Flemming,  a  competent  and  thoroughly  satisfac- 
tory caterer,  and  no  spot  in  New  Haven  could  compare  with

our  own  club  in  attractiveness  and  comfort.  In  consequence, 
old  cliques  failed  to  revive  without  affecting  the  renewal  of 
old  friendships,  and  it  is  doubtless  true  that  the  intimacies 
encouraged  by  the  surroundings  aroused,  in  many  instances, 
feelings  of  mutual  regard,  esteem,  and  friendship  between 
men  who  had  been  indifferent  companions  in  undergraduate 
days. 

While  the  expense  of  the  reunion  was  considerable,  it  can 
be  asserted  with  confidence  that  the  college  will  gain  more 
through  the  increase  of  loyalty  and  enthusiasm  resulting 
than  it  would  have  gained  from  the  application  of  the 
amount  disbursed  to  its  endowment  funds,  and  it  is  highly 
probable  that,  as  a  practical  investment  expressed  in  terms 
of  dollars  and  cents,  the  money  was  well  applied.  More- 
over, in  spite  of  this  depletion,  the  fund  donated  by  the 
class  amounted  to  eighteen  thousand  dollars,  a  sum  ex- 
ceeded only  once  by  any  former  class.  This  not  inconsid- 
erable gift  was  raised  by  the  committee  on  finance,  under 
the  chairmanship  of  Welch,  without  anything  in  the  nature 
of  undue  pressure,  and  was  supplemented  by  a  gift  of 
twenty-five  thousand  dollars  from  Stillman  to  the  fund 
for  increasing  the  salaries  of  the  professors  of  the  uni- 
versity. 

The  following  men,  eighty-two  in  number,  registered  at 
the  club,  and  this  auspicious  numeral  was  not  the  result  of 
padding  or  juggling  of  any  kind:  Abbott,  Adams,  Allen 
(J.  F.),  Allen  (M.  S.),  Atterbury,  Badger,  Bailey,  Baltz, 
Barbour,  Bartlett,  Bate,  Beach,  Beede,  Bennett,  Bentley,

It  is  safe  to  say  that  none  of  the  class  failed  willingly 
to  return,  and  while  every  one  of  the  absentees  was  missed, 
the  fact  that  illness  prevented  the  attendance  of  Howard 
Knapp,  always  an  enthusiastic  classman,  and  long  the  presi- 
dent of  '82,  was  especially  regretted.  The  long-distance 
record  was  made  by  Jefferds,  who  journeyed  from  Portland, 
Oregon,  to  be  on  hand,  but  Richards  did  his  best  to  rival 
that  record  by  sending  Mrs.  Richards  and  their  son  from 
Los  Angeles,  California,  to  represent  him. 

Although  the  festivities  were  scheduled  to  commence  on 
Saturday,  June  22,  the  number  that  sat  down  to  the  first 
table  d'hote  in  the  club-house  on  the  evening  of  that  day  far 
surpassed  expectations.  The  men  drifted  into  the  tent  singly 
and  in  pairs  all  the  afternoon  and  evening,  and  by  the  time 
dinner  was  served  enough  were  on  hand  to  guarantee  a  suc- 
cessful reunion  so  far  as  numbers  were  concerned.  Those 
present  from  the  beginning  had  their  reward,  for  the  plea- 
sure of  first  greetings  was  like  the  glow  resulting  from  the 
first  glass  of  champagne.  The  alternating  expressions  of 
doubt,  hesitancy,  and  joyful  recognition  as  friends  of  long 
ago  met  in  the  tent  that  Saturday  evening  were  the  source  of 
a  pleasure  always  keen,  at  times  humorous,  and  occasionally 
tinged  with  pathos,  which  nothing  in  the  after  days  quite 
equaled  in  kind.  The  advantages  of  the  house  and  tent 
were  demonstrated  and  appreciated,  and  from  the  beginning 
the  allurements  of  the  Graduates'  Club  and  other  social 
centers  were  unavailing.  At  dinner  Parsons  announced  a 
change  in  the  schedule  for  the  following  day,  and,  through 
the  courtesy  of  Eno,  a  trip  on  the  Aquilo  was  substituted 
for  a  luncheon  at  the  New  Haven  Country  Club.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

On  Sunday  morning  an  opportunity  was  given,  and  grasped 
by  many,  to  listen  to  the  President's  baccalaureate  address, 
and  then  forty-five  members  of  the  class,  accompanied  by 
the  wives  of  twelve,  and  numerous  sons  and  daughters, 
enjoyed  to  the  uttermost  Eno's  hospitality. 


The  Aquilo 

The  weather  was  per- 
fect, and  the  beautiful  yacht 
swept  gracefully  past  the 
Thimble  Islands,  around  Faulkner's  Island,  and  returned 
to  the  harbor,  while,  during  the  sail,  luncheon  was  served 
and  appreciated  by  all  on  board.  The  serene  and  peaceful 
spirit  of  innocuous  happiness  experienced  by  those  partici- 
pating in  the  excursion  is  typified  on  the  opposite  page  by 
the  illustration  of  contentment  as  personified  by  Archie 
Welch  reclining  in  the  stern  of  the  Aquilo. 

The  landing  at  New  Haven  was  made  in  time  for  such 
as  chose  to  attend  the  organ  recital  at  Woolsey  Hall,  after 
which  the  men  gathered  in  the  tent  until  dinner  was  served. 

[60] 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Toward  the  close  of  the  meal  first  one  and  then  another  of 
'82's  old  instructors  arrived  in  response  to  an  invitation 
from  the  committee,  and  on  adjourning  to  the  tent  the  class 
was  delighted  to  renew  its  acquaintance  with  Tutor  (now 
President)  Hadley,  Dean  Wright,  and  Professors  Phillips, 
Arthur  Wright,  Wheeler,  Beebe,  Dana,  and  Farnam. 

Professor  Beebe  had  thoughtfully  brought  with  him  the 
little  book  in  which  were  recorded  the  marks  in  mathe- 
matics awarded  by  him  in  freshman  year,  and  it  was  with 
feelings  of  mingled  surprise  and  pleasure  that  it  now  tran- 
spired for  the  first  time  that  no  member  of  '82  fell  below 
3.50  in  Euclid  or  Chauvenet.  The  faculty  appeared  to 
enjoy  the  experience  as  well  as  the  class,  and  the  innova- 
tion is  one  which  will  probably  mature  into  an  established 
custom. 


On  Monday  the  men  breakfasted  leisurely  in  the  club-house, 
and  thenstrolled,  motored, 
or  rode  by  trolley  to  the 
picturesque  grounds  of  the 
New  Haven  Country  Club, 
on  the  highlands  border- 
ing the  upper  stretches  of 
Lake  Whitney.  To  most 
of  the  class  the  view  of  the 
club  was  one  of  first  im- 
pression, and  its  charms 
were  appreciated  by  the 
men  and  the  many  wives 
and  children  in  attendance. 
Justice  was  likewise  done 
to  the  more  material  plea-

most  excellent. 

The  fact  that  '82  maintains  her  ancient  prowess  in  ath-

letics  was  demonstrated  by  the  victory  of  her  golf  team, 
composed  of  Bronson,  Billings,  Pardee,  and  Pierce,  over 
that  of  '77,  with  which  a  match  game  was  played,  and 
that  our  class  and  its  wives  excel  in  personal  pulchritude  is 
attested  by  the  photograph  on  the  opposite  page  taken  on 
the  piazza  of  the  Country  Club. 

The  attractions  of  Lake  Whitney,  not  to  mention  those 
of  the  ladies,  beguiled  the  men  until  time  barely  sufficed  to 
return  to  town  and  meet  the  trolley-cars  chartered  to  take 

the  class  to  Momauguin,  on 
the  shore  of  Long  Island 
Sound  just  beyond  Morris 
Cove. 

The  evening  that  fol- 
lowed was  one  to  be  remem- 
bered long.  It  was  midway 
in  the  reunion  week.  Most 
of  the  men  had  arrived,  and 
the  pleasures  of  the  preced- 
ing days  had  only  whetted  the  appetite  for  other  festivities 
to  come.  Joy  and  good-fellowship  reigned  supreme.  Though 
the  water  was  cold,  it  could  not  chill  the  blood  of  athletes 
like  Lyman,  Piatt,  Parsons,  Bate,  Kellogg,  and  Graves,  all 
of  whom  insisted  on  plunging  into  the  briny  billows,  osten- 
sibly for  aquatic  enjoyment,  but  presumably  to  provide  an 
excuse  for  stimulants  other  than  such  as  Xeptune  serves. 
In  any  event,  all  the  bathers  were  members  of  the  demon 
chorus,  organized  by  Rice  and  Piatt  as  an  antidote  to  the 
angel  choir,  led  by  Williams  and  Bartlett.  The  effect  of 
the  mixed  music  was  superb.  The  Jackson  Trio  were  not 
"in  it,"  and  Lyman  and  Welch  simply  reveled  in  the  intoxi- 
cating strains  of  harmonious  melody.  The  weird  sounds 
finally  aroused  the  spirits  of  the  vasty  deep,  and  the  return 
to  town  was  veiled  by  an  impenetrable  mist.

Tuesday  was  a  strenuous  day.  In  the  morning  was  held 
the  meeting  of  the  alumni,  when  Abbott  becomingly  re- 
sponded for  '82  in  an  excellent  and  impressive  address.  He 
said: 

"Fellow  Alumni:  I  find  it  a  little  difficult  to  adjust 
my  dramatic  imagination  to  the  situation  which  presents 
itself  to  me  here,  for  I  assure  you  that  there  is  not  a  man  in 
the  class  of  '82  more  than  twenty-two  years  of  age.  I  was 
convinced  of  that  fact  at  our  dinner  last  night;  I  was  con- 
vinced of  it  again  this  morning  only  a  few  minutes  ago, 
when  I  sat  below  the  platform,  as  I  used  to  do,  and  listened 
to  the  distinguished  president  of  the  University  of  Min- 
nesota, who  is  so  intimately  connected  with  the  associations 
of  many  of  us  when  we  were  undergraduates  here,  and  I  am 
afraid  that  the  quarter  of  a  century  which  is  supposed  to 
have  elapsed  since  the  class  of  '82  left  here  has  not  settled 
upon  us  as  yet.  We  are  still  seniors,  juniors,  sophomores, 
or  freshmen;  we  are  still  climbing  the  stairs  of  the  Athen- 
aeum or  the  Lyceum;  we  are  trying  to  guess  what  Euclid 
I.  34  is  about,  and  we  are  waiting  in  the  fond  hope  that 
dear  old  President  Porter  will  be  beguiled  by  our  eager 
but  speechless  attention  into  answering  himself,  as  he  used 
to  do,  the  question  he  has  just  asked  us.  To  expect  one,  in 
circumstances  of  this  sort,  to  make  a  comparison  between 
the  condition  of  the  college  long  ago  and  that  of  the  present 
time,  or  to  express  some  sage  opinion  about  the  policy  of 
the  university,  confuses  us  by  a  sort  of  dual  personality 
with  which  we  seem  to  be  invested,  and  makes  it  difficult 
for  us  to  take  up  our  expected  role  of  alumni  — who  are  no 
longer  young.  But  to  play  that  assumed  part,  not  to  be 
recreant  to  what  the  program  calls  for  from  us,  I  may  say, 
speaking  frankly,  perhaps,  not  only  for  the  class  of  '82, 
but  for  those  who  were  graduated  at  about  the  same  time, 
that,  as  men  half-way  between  the  radicalism  of  youth  and 


2 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

the  ultramontanism  of  age,  the  policy  which  the  university 
is  following  under  the  wise  leadership  of  our  President,  a 
policy  which  is  a  combination  of  liberalism  and  conserva- 
tism, recommends  itself  very  strongly  to  us. 

"In  the  way  of  progress,  Mr.  Chairman,  we  are  glad,  of 
course,  all  of  us,  at  the  large  number  of  new  buildings  which 
have  been  added  since  our  time.  We  were  glad  to  hear  this 
morning  of  the  additions  which  have  been  made  to  the  funds 
of  the  university,  as  reported  by  our  President;  but  we  have 
been  much  more  impressed,  as  we  have  followed  the  his- 
tory of  the  college,  and  as  we  have  seen  conditions  here  this 
week — we  have  been  much  more  impressed,  I  say,  by  the 
changes  which  do  not  meet  the  eye  — by  the  greater  efficiency, 
for  example,  which  has  come  through  the  improvement  of 
the  administrative  system;  by  the  increase  in  the  teaching 
force  of  the  university,  upon  which,  more  than  upon  build- 
ings, a  university  depends;  by  the  addition  of  new  depart- 
ments of  study,  to  which  some  reference  has  already  been 
made  this  morning;  by  the  increase  in  the  salaries  of  mem- 
bers of  the  faculty  of  professorial  rank.  By  this  last  action, 
which  the  President  announced  in  his  annual  report  of  1906 
was  only  the  first  step  forward,  Yale  has  not  only  more  ade- 
quately recognized  the  faithful,  efficient,  and  brilliant  ser- 
vices which  her  faculty  is  rendering  her,  of  which  we  are 
all  aware,  but  she  has  helped  to  give  a  dignity  to  the  teach- 
ing profession  elsewhere,  and  has  set  an  example  which 
other  universities  are  already  preparing  to  follow.  Had 
it  not  been  for  the  taking  of  this  step,  there  was  immi- 
nent danger,  in  my  opinion,  that  our  universities  in  the 
future  would  attract  to  their  faculties  only  men  of  mediocre 
ability.  Yale  has  helped  to  avert  that  catastrophe.  [Ap- 
plause.] 

"We  sympathized  also,  I  am  sure,  as  we  listened  to  the 
President's  report  this  morning,  with  the  steps  which  are 
being  taken  now,  and  have  been  taken  in  the  last  twenty-five 

C66H 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

years,  toward  drawing  more  closely  together  the  Sheffield 
Scientific  School  and  the  Academical  Department.  We  all 
approve  heartily  of  the  development  of  the  Graduate 
School,  and  of  what  the  President  has  reported  to  us  of  the 
plans  of  the  university  looking  toward  the  extension  of  its 
facilities  in  the  way  of  publication.  All  of  these  things  have 
served  to  make  Yale  what  she  is  to-day— a  university  in 
reality  as  well  as  in  name.  That  is  one  side  of  the  picture 
which  presents  itself  to  us  as  we  come  back  here  now.  With 
much  that  is  new,  of  which,  I  think,  all  returning  graduates 
approve,  all  that  which  we  regarded  as  essential  in  the  old  is 
still  left.  The  university  still  holds  that  there  is  no  short 
cut  to  learning,  that  an  education  can't  be  measured  off,  like 
broadcloth,  in  hours  and  courses,  that  this  is  still  a  place  of 
discipline.     [Applause.] 

"We  are  glad,  too,  that  Yale  has  not  cast  to  the  winds 
the  educational  wisdom  of  generations;  that  she  does  not 
say  to  her  young  men  of  eighteen  or  twenty:  'Experience 
counts  for  nothing;  choose  whatever  course  suits  your  fancy 
of  the  moment,  or  fits  into  your  athletic  schedule' ;  that  this 
place  which  we  have  known  and  loved,  all  of  us,  is  still  an 
institution  of  liberal  learning,  and  not  an  antechamber  of  a 
law  school,  a  medical  school,  or  a  railroad  office. 

"During  the  last  twenty-five  years  since  my  class  has 
been  out  of  college  there  has  been  a  great  seething  of  new 
ideas  in  education.  We  have  seen  many  universities  driven 
across  the  trackless  sea  of  unrestrained  individualism,  un- 
limited electives,  and  utilitarianism;  we  have  seen  others 
pitching  and  rolling,  but  making  no  progress.  Yale  has  set 
her  sails  to  the  wind,  but  she  has  set  her  rudder  true.  Hers 
is  a  liberalism  which  combines  that  which  is  best  of  the  old 
and  that  which  is  good  in  the  new.  The  fact  that  we,  in 
coming  back,  find  her  holding  so  faithfully  to  the  sound 
ideas  which  we  believed  in  when  we  were  undergraduates, 
makes  our  return  this  week  seem  to  us  a  genuine  home-

coming,  however  much  may  be  changed  to  the  external  eye. 
[Prolonged  applause.]" 

Immediately  thereafter  luncheon  was  served  for  the  class 
at  the  club-house,  and  while  it  progressed  the  business  meet- 
ing was  comfortably  despatched.  In  the  absence  of  Knapp, 
president  of  the  class,  Parsons  presided. 

Proceeding  with  the  election  of  officers,  Welch,  in  putting 
Knapp  in  nomination  for  reelection  as  president,  referred 
to  the  illness  which  prevented  him  from  being  present.  At- 
tention was  called  to  the  fact  that,  as  a  leading  spirit,  he 
had  always  attended  every  reunion  and  had  done  more  for 
'82  than  any  other  man.  The  nomination  was  immediately 
seconded;  there  were  no  other  nominations,  and  Knapp  was 
unanimously  reelected  president. 

Bentley,  speaking  directly  to  his  classmates,  stated  that 
the  chairman  need  not  pay  attention  to  him,  as  he  intended 
to  ignore  the  chairman.  He  said,  very  truly,  that  in  all 
the  work  which  had  been  done  by  way  of  preparation  for 
this  most  successful  reunion  Billie  Parsons  had  had  a  very 
important  share,  and  he  said  it  was  evident  to  all  what  Par- 
sons had  been  doing  since  the  week  began.  "Partly  because 
of  the  misfortune  which  temporarily  prevents  active  work 
by  our  class  president,  partly  because  two  are  better  than 
one,  partly  because  Billie  is  such  a  good  fellow  and  we  all 
love  him,  I  am  going  to  suggest  that  we  add  to  our  list  of 
class  officers  that  of  vice-president."  With  this  testimonial 
he  nominated  Parsons  for  vice-president;  the  nomination 
was  seconded,  and  Parsons  was  unanimously  elected  vice- 
president  of  the  class. 

Osborne  resigned  the  position  of  secretary,  which  he  had 
held  since  graduation,  and  Dillingham  was  elected.  Bentley 
moved  that  a  vote  of  thanks  be  passed  to  Osborne  for  his 
work  in  behalf  of  the  class,  and  for  the  good  care  he  had 
taken  of  the  men  at  each  reunion.

THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Welch,  in  making  report  as  chairman  of  the  finance  com- 
mittee, said  that  he  wished  to  express  to  the  class  personally 
what  he  had  endeavored  to  say  in  his  letters,  namely,  that 
they  had  turned  a  task  which  he  had  looked  forward  to 
with  a  great  deal  of  misgiving  into  an  inspiring  one,  and  he 
wished  to  thank  each  member  individually  for  the  royal  re- 
sponse which  had  been  made  to  his  begging  letter.  It  was 
his  belief,  he  said,  that  each  member  of  the  class  had  paid 
what  he  ought  to  pay,  and  whether  the  subscription  was  five 
dollars  or  five  thousand  dollars,  the  amount  represented  the 
limit  that  the  individual  should  give.  He  announced  that 
the  subscriptions  amounted  to  something  over  twenty-four 
thousand  dollars,  which  would  permit  of  promising  the 
university  a  gift  of  eighteen  thousand  dollars  from  the  class 
after  all  of  the  expenses  of  the  reunion  had  been  met,  in- 
cluding the  cost  of  the  Class  Book. 

Bronson  presented  to  the  class,  to  be  given  to  the  univer- 
sity in  his  name  and  in  that  of  his  sons,  a  copy  of  a  song 
which,  written  by  an  undergraduate,  had  evidently  been  pre- 
pared for  the  use  of  the  class  of  1796. 

A  vote  of  thanks  was  extended  to  the  committee  in  charge 
of  the  reunion,  and  to  Eno,  who  had  so  delightfully  enter- 
tained the  class  and  their  families  on  his  yacht  the  Sunday 
previous. 

The  secretary  and  Abbott  were  appointed  a  committee  to 
prepare  resolutions  on  those  who  had  died  since  the  last 
reunion.    These  resolutions  appear  on  a  later  page. 

Lyman  moved  that  the  members  of  the  various  commit- 
tees be  appointed  by  the  vice-president,  and  during  dinner 
on  Wednesday  Parsons  announced  the  following: 

Annual  Dinner  and  Thirtieth  Reunion:  Lyman,  chair- 
man; Loomis,  Welch. 

Finance:  Piatt,  chairman;  Clement,  Stillman. 

Class  Records  and  Thirtieth  Anniversary  Book:  Palmer, 
chairman;  Jefferds,  Shipley.

While  enjoying  the  cool  breezes  at  Momauguin  on  the 
previous  evening  the  class  had  manfully  voted  to  march  to 
the   Athletic   Field.      Pardee,    however,    with    forethought 


The  "March' 


bordering  on  genius,  had  retained  the  refusal  of  two  trolley- 
cars  as  a  precaution,  and  a  motion  to  reconsider  the  resolu- 
tion of  the  preceding  night  was  made  and  unanimously  and 
enthusiastically  carried.  Accordingly,  the  "march"  was 
confined  to  a  promenade  from  the  club-house  to  the  Univer- 
sity Library,  where,  in  accordance  with  immemorial  custom, 
the  class  picture  was  taken  on  the  steps.  Then,  cheered  by 
the  strains  of  the  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Band,  three  of  whose 
members  were  connected  with  it  twenty-eight  years  ago, 
when    it   accompanied   '82    to    its    freshman   dinner   at   the

THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Pequot  House,  the  men  boarded  trolley-cars  and  rode  com- 
fortably and  as  beseemed  their  years  to  the  field.  There, 
again  forming  in  order  and  with  the  right  of  line,  the  class 
marched  and  countermarched  until  the  seats  reserved  for 
its  use  were  reached,  whence  the  men  viewed  with  delight 
the  costumes  and  antics  of  their  juniors,  reveling  in  an  orgy 
of  color  and  motion  which  typifies  a  celebration  unknown  in 
'82,  but  now  sanctioned  by  long  tradition.  The  ball  game 
was  a  success  in  so  far  as  Yale  defeated  her  ancient  ri- 
val, but  otherwise  lacked  interest.  The  spectacle  itself 
was  what  appealed  to  those  of  the  class,  including  most, 
who  had  not  seen  a  commencement  game  in  twenty-five 
years. 

The  return  to  the  club-house  was  by  trolley,  and  then, 
with  a  short  interval  for  refreshment,  the  class,  with  its 
attendant  band,  marched  to  the  house  of  the  President  of 
the  university,  who  greeted  it  with  a  few  happy  allusions. 
The  march  was  then  resumed  and  terminated  at  Heub- 
lein's,  where  the  apogee  of  the  reunion  awaited  the 
class. 

The  dinner  was  well  chosen,  well  cooked,  and  well  served. 
The  wine  was  choice,  cool,  and  abundant,  and,  when  the 
fragrance  of  the  coffee  blended  with  the  aroma  of  the  cigars, 
silence  was  requested,  the  lights  were  extinguished,  the  eve- 
ning star  arose,  and  Chester  Lyman  shone  superb.  What 
followed  was  a  complete  surprise.  Upon  a  curtain  in  the 
darkened  room  were  cast  reflections  of  the  days  of  long 
ago:  the  "old  brick  row,"  the  State  House,  the  arching 
elms,  the  campus  as  of  yore,  the  youthful  athletes,  the  ven- 
erable Woolsey  and  Prexy  Porter,  the  various  class  pic- 
tures, and  finally,  as  a  reminder  of  the  flight  of  time,  the 
first  grandchild  of  '82.  For  two  hours  Lyman  held  the 
class  spellbound  in  the  chains  of  old  association,  and  then 
the  pageant  faded  like  a  pleasant  dream,  and  with  the  lights 
the  usual  features  of  the  banquet  were  resumed.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Boys,  boys,  boys !  I  am  glad  to  see  that  you  have  predeter- 
mined that  this  is  to  be  an  informal  occasion.  [Applause.] 
And  I  beg  to  tender  to  you  my  apologies  for  keeping  my  coat 
on.  [Derisive  yells  and  cries  of  "Sarcasm!"  The  re- 
moval of  your  coats  bespeaks  informality,  and  informality 
leads  to  intimacy,  and  intimacy  discloses  ties  that  one  would 
otherwise  not  be  aware  of.  I  see  before  me  Foote  and 
Pardee  elbow  to  elbow,  the  tie  of  Foote  matching  the  shirt 
of  Pardee.  [Applause  and  laughter.]  Now  we  have  a 
good  deal  to  dispose  of  to-night,  and  having  disposed  of 
considerable  in  the  way  of  viands,  we  still  have  a  good  deal 
of  business  to  attend  to  on  this  occasion,  and  we  must  try 
to  serve  it  up  lively. 

I  suppose  those  of  you  who  have  attended  the  dinners  in 
New  York  have  probably  looked  forward  to  its  being  in- 
evitable to  have  those  letters  read,  those  letters  from  absent 
members,  and  I  am  sorry  to  say  that  there  are  more  absent 
members  than  we  had  anticipated.  The  attendance  is 
hardly  up  to  expectations,  and  lacks  a  little  bit  in  loyalty  in 
not  reaching  the  number  of  eighty-two,1  which,  at  the  last 
dinner  in  New  York,  I  prophesied  would  be  reached. 

You  have  noticed,  if  you  have  looked  beyond  the  page  of 
viands  on  the  menu,  that  the  toasts  savor  of  the  classroom; 
but  that  selection  of  toasts  was  made  with  the  idea  of  taking 
you  back  to  the  past.  You  know  that  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant things  in  college  and  college  life  was  to  be  able  to 
render  a  good  excuse,  and  we  have  selected  an  adept  in  that 
line  to  respond  to  that  idea.  His  excuses  will  be,  not  on 
behalf  of  himself,  however,  but  on  behalf  of  those  who  are 
absent  for  one  cause  and  another.  Let  us  hope  that  it  is  due 
to  circumstances  beyond  their  control  —  acts  of  God,  as  they 
are  called  in  business  circles. 

Before  calling  upon  the  man  who  is  to  respond  to  that 
idea,  I  want  to  say  that  he  is  the  one  with  whom  I  and  sev-

eral  others  have  been  working  for  some  time  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  these  events  which  you  have  been  undergoing  and, 
I  hope,  enjoying.  [Applause.]  It  has  been  a  pleasure  to 
work  with  this  man,  who  is  not  to  be  mentioned  until  the 
proper  time  (I  am  working  up  a  climax,  you  see),  and  I  am 
very,  very  glad  that  he  received  the  stamp  of  your  approval 
at  the  business  meeting  this  afternoon,  and  is  henceforth  to 
be  designated  as  the  vice-president  of  this  class.  [Applause 
and  cries  of  "Hurrah!"  I  wish  to  remind  you  that  when 
he  was  in  college  one  of  his  claims  to  conspicuousness  was 
the  fact  that  he  was  the  vice-commodore  of  the  Yale  Yacht 
Club,  and,  as  my  friend  Rice  has  anticipated  me  in  saying, 
somehow  or  other  the  word  "vice"  seems  to  be  inseparably 
connected  with  Billie  Parsons'  name.  [Applause  and 
cheers.] 

Parsons:  I  want  to  explain  that  I  was  once  a  real  live 
commodore,  and  not  a  I'/Y^-commodore.  I  was  the  second 
commodore  of  the  Yale  Yacht  Club,  and  I  have  a  prize  in 
the  shape  of  a  flag  which  some  of  us  sailed  for  on  a  catboat 
racing  up  the  harbor. 

Well,  fellows,  seriously,  this  part  usually  falls  to  my  lot, 
and  to-night  I  have  the  regrets  which  have  come  from  a 
number  of  the  men;  but  before  reading  them  I  want  to  call 
upon  you,  all  of  you,  to  fill  your  glasses  and  drink  to  the 
health  of  the  absent  ones. 

A  Voice:    There  is  nothing  to  fill  them  with. 

Parsons:  Well,  get  something.  Fellows,  the  absent 
ones.     [Toast  is  drunk  in  silence.] 

Eno:  I  should  like  to  propose  a  toast  to  the  president  of 
this  class,  who  cannot  be  with  us.  I  should  like  to  propose 
the  health  of  Howard  Knapp,  the  friend  of  all,  who  cannot 
be  with  us  to-night. 

Toast-master:  We  will  do  homage  to  Howard  a  little 
later. 

Parsons:    Such  an  occasion  as  this  always  makes  me  wish 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

I  was  a  poet;  but,  not  being  a  poet,  I  have  to  take  some- 
thing that  one  of  my  poetical  '82  friends  (Welch)  has 
written : 

Friendship  I  sing,  and  youth,  those  fires  that,  lit 
At  birth,  break  out  in  boyhood  into  flames 
Refining  and  impelling,  and,  unwatched, 
Will  flicker  and  die  out  in  later  years ; 
Yet  fires  that  may  burn  brightly  all  through  life, 
And  always  will  when  sons  of  Yale  shall  meet, 
And,  turning  fevered  eyes,  shall  stretch  their  hands — 
In  memories — to  Alma  Mater:  for 
She  needs  but  to  be  call'd,  to  lovingly 
Bend  down  and  blow  the  slowly  dying  fires 
To  furnace  heat,  with  breath  that  brings  again 
The  perfumed  springtime  of  our  boyhood  days. 


The  first  "regret"  that  I  have  to  read  is  from  members 
of  the  faculty,  and  I  am  sure  you  will  share  their  regrets 
that  they  were  not  with  us  Sunday  night.  Professor  Sumner 
writes  to  Chester  that  he  received  the  invitation  and  regrets 
very  much  that,  owing  to  his  being  out  of  town,  he  was 
unable  to  be  with  us.  Professor  Richards  writes  from 
Westville,  Connecticut,  regretting  very  much  that  he  could 
not  be  present,  and  desires  to  have  his  compliments  pre- 
sented to  the  class. 

A  Voice:     Did  you  ask  Johnnie  Peters? 

Parsons:    Johnnie  Peters  is  in  New  York. 

Fellows,  I  am  sure  you  would  like  to  have  me  read  these, 
if  I  only  read  the  names. 

A  Voice:    Read  the  letters. 

Parsons:  Morgan  Beach  regrets  that  he  cannot  be  pres- 
ent, and  sends  his  affectionate  remembrances  to  you  all  from 
Washington.      [Applause.] 

Our  old  friend  Snyder  writes  that  he  is  unable  to  be 
present. 

D6I1 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Badger:    What  did  he  say? 

Parsons:  I  won't  read  it  all.  I  will  pass  it  over  to  you, 
Walter.     I  think  it  would  do  you  good  to  read  that  letter. 

Burpee  writes  that  he  very  much  regrets  that  he  cannot 
be  present,  and  wishes  to  express  his  pleasure  at  the  remem- 
brance of  our  invitation. 

Pardee:    Was  that  on  a  postal  card,  Bill? 

Parsons:     Yes. 

Kinley,  from  Urbana,  Illinois,  says  that  he  is  sorry  not 
to  be  with  us. 

Trowbridge  writes  from  New  York  that  he  cannot  be 
present. 

Martin  Welles,  as  I  think  many  of  you  know,  is  in  Eu- 
rope. More  than  a  year  ago,  when  we  were  having  our 
annual  dinner  in  New  York,  Martin  Welles  wrote  us 
that  he  was  very  anxious  that  the  fund  to  be  raised  by  us 
for  the  university  should  be  as  large  as  possible,  and  that 
he  would  be  glad  to  contribute  to  it.  That  was  more  than 
a  year  ago,  and  unfortunately,  during  all  that  time,  for  more 
than  a  year,  if  I  mistake  not,  Martin  Welles  has  been  in 
Europe  on  account  of  ill  health. 

[At  this  point  in  the  proceedings  a  passing  brass  band 
in  the  street  played  "There  '11  be  a  Hot  Time  in  the  Old 
Town  To-night,"  and  all  joined  in  singing  the  chorus.] 

A  Voice:    Did  you  hear  that  band,  Billie? 

Parsons:  Now  here  is  another  from  our  old  friend  Rut- 
ledge.  He  says,  among  other  things:  "I  am  awfully  sorry 
to  say  that  I  shall  not  be  able  to  be  present.  I  shall  be 
with  you  in  spirit,  even  if  not  in  the  body." 

Ben  Brewster  telegraphed  at  the  very  last  moment  that 
he  was  unable  to  be  present.  He  had  for  a  long  time  looked 
forward  to  coming.  The  last  note  I  had  from  him  was  that 
he  hoped  to  be  present  with  one  of  his  boys,  and  a  day  or 
two  after  I  got  a  telegram  saying  he  had  been  unable  to 
come  on.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Ted  Holland  writes— 

A  Voice:    Is  that  on  a  postal? 

Parsons:  Yes,  there  is  a  lot  on  it,  though:  "Of  all  sad 
words  of  tongue  or  pen  —  no" 

Gardes  sends  his  regrets  from  Sherman,  Texas. 

Billie  Vought  writes  from  Buffalo:  "I  have  held  off  from 
answering  your  letter  of  the  7th  in  the  hope  I  could  give  a 
favorable  answer  to  the  invitation  to  the  twenty-fifth  re- 
union of  the  class  of  '82.  I  had  fully  intended  to  be  there," 
etc. 

Here  is  a  letter  from  Dick  Richards;  his  boy  was  with 
us  at  the  ball  game  this  afternoon.     [Reads  letter.] 

This  is  from  Jonas  Long. 

Sam  Hebard  had,  up  to  the  very  last  moment,  expected 
to  be  present.  He  telegraphed  on  June  24:  "My  mother's 
very  serious  illness  prevents  my  leaving  home." 

Here  is  a  letter  from  Gardena,  California,  which  just 
reached  me  to-day  from  E.  A.  Weed. 

A  Voice:    Hurrah  for  Weed! 

The  next  is  from  Miller,  whom,  I  fancy,  few  of  us  have 
seen  for  many  years. 

A  Voice:    Is  that  Jack? 

Parsons:     George  B.  Miller.     [Reads  letter.] 

Besides  these,  fellows,  I  have  received  a  number  of 
shorter  notes  with  just  a  word  of  declination,  regretting 
that  the  fellows  could  not  be  present.     [Applause.] 

Toast-master:  The  letter  from  Weed,  which  I  have 
heard  for  the  first  time,  suggests  the  fact  that  he  is  engaged 
in  the  occupation  of  horticulture,  and  I  have  heard  from 
another  source  that  he  is  in  consultation  with  that  horticul- 
tural wizard,  Luther  Burbank,  and  they  do  say  that  Weed's 
children  are  peaches.     [Laughter  and  applause.] 

Now  I  wish  to  extend  a  greeting,  not  only  to  the  fellow 
graduates  of  the  class  of  '82,  but  to  the  graduates  of  '83 
and  '84. 

['78] 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

A  Voice:    Never  mind  them. 

Toast-master:  And  to  the  non-graduates.  These  all  to- 
gether constitute  the  Greater  '82.  [Applause  and  cries  of 
"Good!"]  I  use  the  word  advisedly,  because  it  is  a  fact 
that,  through  the  cultivation  of  the  class  spirit,  we  have 
attracted  to  ourselves  a  number  of  men  who,  like  the  tail 
of  a  comet,  may  have  dropped  behind,  but  you  know  the 
most  brilliant  part  of  a  comet  comes  trailing  after.  We 
have  added  such  a  number  of  men  who  feel  a  loyalty  to 
those  numerals  '82  that  the  number  who  respond  to  any 
call  of  '82  is  actually  larger  to-day  than  when  we  graduated, 
and  if  that  does  n't  mean  a  "Greater  '82,"  I  don't  know 
what  does.  [Applause  and  cries  of  "Good!"  Now  what 
is  it  that  makes  us  greater,  or  has  produced  that  result? 

A  Voice:    Lyman  and  Parsons. 

Another  Voice:    Johnnie  Peters,  partly. 

Toast-master:  Parsons  has  not  only  made  '82  greater, 
but  he  will  make  subsequent  classes  greater.     [Applause.] 

Now  we  have  certain  traits  as  a  class,  as  we  have  as  in- 
dividuals. I  was  very  much  interested  to  hear  what  Presi- 
dent Hadley  had  to  say,  and  hung  upon  his  lips  to  hear  what 
he  had  to  say  to  us  about  ourselves;  but  he  only  said  we  had 
"an  atmosphere." 

A  Voice:    Don't  get  sore. 

Toast-master:  I  think  we  really  have  an  atmosphere,  but 
what  we  most  need  now  is  air. 

A  Voice:    We  have  hot  air. 

Toast-master:  He  did  not  touch  upon  the  qualities  of  '82 
at  all,  although  we  were  one  of  the  most  loyal  classes  that 
ever  graduated  from  Yale.  [Applause  and  cries  of  "Hear, 
hear!"]     We  are  homogeneous  — 

A  Voice:    We  are  what? 

Toast-master:  Homogeneous  — not  H-o-m-e-r,  but  h-o-m-o- 
geneous.  There  are  no  lines  of  cleavage  in  this  class,  so- 
cial, society,  financial,  or  any  other.     [Applause.] 

[79] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

I  think  I  may  say  one  or  two  words  in  regard  to  the  class 
without  being  egotistical,  because  I  do  not  attribute  anything 
to  myself.  We  are  democratic,  we  are  all  alike,  we  are  all 
'82  men,  and  we  must  go  on  and  show  to  the  college,  as  we 
have,  I  think,  during  the  last  few  days,  that  we  are  not  only 
a  unit  as  a  class,  but  that  we  are  a  nucleus,  or  we  are  some- 
thing from  which  can  emanate  influences  which  will  be  of 
use  to  the  college.  [Applause.]  The  highest  type  of  ser- 
vice is  work,  and  that,  I  think,  we  have  given  to  Yale  and 
propose  to  keep  on  giving;  but,  more  than  that,  we  are  will- 
ing to  make  sacrifices.  I  believe  that  this  class  is  not  a  very 
rich  class  as  things  are  rich  in  these  days  of  opulence,  but 
to-day  an  announcement  was  made,  was  it  not?  at  the  alumni 
meeting,  of  the  fact  that,  through,  I  will  not  say  the  efforts 
of  our  finance  committee,  headed  by  Archie  Welch,  but 
through  that  channel,  we  have  raised  a  munificent  sum 
to  give  to  Yale  —  eighteen  thousand  dollars,  which  was  far 
more  than  we  thought  could  be  raised.  And  I  think  that 
thanks  are  due  to  the  committee,  and  to  the  chairman  of  the 
committee  especially,  for  affording  a  way  so  tactfully  and 
diplomatically  for  the  class  to  express  its  intentions  and  de~ 
sire  to  help  the  college. 

The  college  is  greatly  in  need  of  money,  as  you  know. 
We  have  got  through  our  begging  (and  this  is  not  leading 
up  to  any  begging  at  all),  but  the  members  of  the  faculty, 
as  you  know,  live  on  mere  pittances.  I  think  that  a  member 
of  the  faculty  on  receiving  his  salary  check  must  feel  some- 
what as  the  Irishman  felt  who  came  home  on  pay-day, 
and  his  wife  said:  "Pat,  where  is  the  money  this  week?" 
And  Pat  said:  "Faith,  you  are  behind  the  times;  have  n't 
you  read  about  microbes  getting  on  money?  I  would  really 
hate  to  give  you  the  money  that  I  got,  for  fear  there  might  be 
microbes  on  it."  "Ah!"  Bridget  replied,  "come  off,  Pat: 
no  microbes  could  get  on  your  wages."  [Laughter.]  I 
think  the  same  thing  might  be  said  of  a  professor's  salary, 

C8on 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

and  that  is  generally  appreciated,  and  it  has  been  more  par- 
ticularly appreciated  by  a  member  of  our  class.  I  wish  now 
to  say,  somewhat  under  the  protest  of  the  person  who  is  re- 
sponsible for  this  announcement  that  I  am  about  to  make,  that 
there  has  been  a  gift  by  a  member  of  our  class,  in  addition 
to  the  eighteen  thousand  dollars  already  given,  of  twenty- 
five  thousand  dollars  [tremendous  applause  and  cheers]  to 
help  the  faculty  eke  out  their  subsistence  and  make  the  two 
ends  meet.  [Renewed  applause.]  Now  this  gift  comes 
from  one  of  the  most  modest  men  of  the  class.  It  is  Charlie 
Stillman.  [Loud  applause  and  cries  of  "  'Rah,  'rah,  'rah!" 
etc.,  and  cries  of  "Stillman,  speech!"] 

Stillman:  Fellows,  I  had  a  long  talk  with  Andy  Phillips 
several  years  ago,  and  realized  the  position  he  has  been  in, 
devoting  his  whole  life  to  the  work,  as  he  has  been,  and 
it  has  been  the  same  way  with  the  whole  university.  And 
I  appreciate,  more  than  anything  else,  that  these  men  are 
working  all  their  lives  on  such  a  small  salary,  and  it  was 
with  great  pleasure  that  I  was  able  to  give  a  part  to  this 
fund.     [Applause.] 

Toast-master:  Boys,  as  an  echo  of  your  applause,  I  say 
that  is  a  splendid  gift. 

I  might  talk  at  length  about  the  class  and  about  the  col- 
lege, but  this  is  a  hot  evening,  and  we  have  some  good  talks 
in  store.  I  am  just  going  to  cut  out  some  of  the  common- 
places, and  I  am  going  to  try  and  put  you  back  into  the 
past,  not  where  you  belong,  perhaps,  but  you  know  we  live 
terribly  in  the  present.  We  come  up  here  to  escape  from 
ourselves,  we  come  up  here  and  we  find  that  we  are  still 
living  in  the  present.  We  feel  the  new  conditions  (and 
they  are  new  and  they  are  better),  but  they  are  not  quite 
what  we  loved,  because  they  are  not  the  old  conditions. 
Now,  to-night,  with  the  aid  of  a  little  artifice,  I  am  going 
to  try  to  bring  you  back  into  that  condition  of  mind  which 
will  make  you  appreciate  what  it  is  to  be  a  Yale  man  and 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 


what  it  is  to  be  an  '82  man,  and  you  cannot  appreciate 
that  any  more  than  by  a  revival  of  the  conditions  which 
surrounded  us,  and  I  do  not  mean  classroom  conditions 
[laughter],  when  you  were  in  college. 

Now  I  am  going  to  have  the  lights  put  out,  and  I  am 
going  to  have  first  a  song.  The  lights  will  not  be  out  con- 
tinuously, but  I  believe  somewhat  in  an  atmosphere  that 
President  Hadley  referred  to,  and  I  am  going  to  try  and 
create  an  atmosphere,  and  I  hope  you  will  respond  to  it. 
Now  we  will  have  the  lights  put  out,  and  the  archangel  and 
his  angel  choir  will  sing  a  verse  of  that  good  old  song  "The 
Moss-covered  Bucket." 

[A  screen,  heretofore  concealed,  is  let  down,  and  a  lantern 
slide  thrown  upon  it.] 

The  first  picture  you  see  on 
the  screen  is  the  face  of  our 
president,  Howard  Knapp. 
The  man  who  has  been  twice 
elected  president  of  our  class 
has  certainly  been  a  credit  to 
us,  and  he  has  been  a  credit 
to  the  college,  and  a  credit  to 
the  community  in  which  he 
lives.  As  undergraduate  he 
served  the  class  and  college 
well  on  the  football  field, 
and  not  many  fields.  I  find, 
are  more  exalted  than  that. 
After  graduation  he  served 
the  college  by  coming  back 
and  showing  his  loyalty 
by  coaching  many  football 
teams,  and  he  served  the  col- 
lege as  a  professor  or  tutor  in  the  Law  School.  In  Bridge- 
port we  find  that  he  is  regarded  as  a  man  of  public  spirit, 

on 


Howard  Knapp 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 


and  he  has,  as  a  college  man,  organized  the  University 
Club  of  Bridgeport,  which  of  course  Yale  dominates.  That 
is  merely  another  name  for  the  Yale  Club  of  Bridgeport. 
He  is  so  prominent  that  he  has  been  spoken  of  there  as  a 
candidate  for  mayor.  Wherever  he  has  been,  whatever 
the  sphere  of  activity  he  has  thrown  himself  into,  it  has 
been  heartily,  and  with  results  which  are  a  credit  to  him, 
a  credit  to  us,  and  a  credit  to  the  college.  [Applause  as 
Knapp's  picture  is  seen,  and  the  song  "For  He  's  a  Jolly 
Good  Fellow."] 

I  have  these  words  from  Howard:  "My  loyal  love  and 
greeting  to  the  class  of  '82."  These  are  the  words  that  are 
fresh  from  his  pen.  You  know  that  he  is  quite  ill,  but  his 
thoughts  are  on  us. 

Now  I  am  going  to  ask  that  some  one,  and  I  suggest  that 
Harry  Piatt  be  the  man,  report  to  Howard  the  result  of  the 
election  to-day,  and  the  feeling  that  has  been  manifested  by 
you  men  here  to-night. 

Parsons:  Mr.  Chair- 
man, can't  we  rise  once 
more  and  signify  our  al- 
legiance and  our  love  to 
Howard  Knapp?  Let  's 
all  rise  in  token  of  our 
allegiance  and  love.  [All 
rise  with  the  song,  "Here  's 
to  Howard  Knapp,  drink 
him  down."] 

Toast-master :  This  gen- 
tleman needs  no  introduc- 
tion. In  fact,  if  it  were  not 
for  him  we  would  not  be 
here  to-night.  Let  's  show 
a  bit  of  loyalty  to  the  old  name  by  singing  the  old  song 
"Here  's  to  Good  Old  Yale." 


Elihu  Yale 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

This  is  the  first  Yale  building.  It  is  the  house  of  the 
Rev.  Samuel  Russell  at  Branford,  Connecticut,  and,  as  I 
understand  it,  this  is  the  house  to  which  the  ministers  of 

Connecticut  came 
and  deposited  the 
books  which  consti- 
tuted the  nucleus  of 
the  Library,  which 
already  requires  so 
many  buildings  to 
accommodate  it  as 
really  to  defy  the 
ingenuity  of  archi- 
tects to  keep  up  with 
its  growth,  if  each 
addition  is  to  be  of 
a  different  style,  which  seems  to  be  the  present  policy. 
It  may  interest  you  to  know  that  our  classmate  Palmers 


The  First  Yale  Building 


Temple  Street 


great-grandfather  was  one  of  the  men  who  brought  some 
books  and  deposited  them  there  at  that  time.  [Applause.] 
This  may  be  termed  the  cradle  of  the  "Yale  spirit."

THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

A  Voice  (referring  to  the  old  well-sweep)  :  The  well  of 
the  Yale  spirit. 

Toast-master:  Now  we  come  down  to  comparatively 
modern  times,  the  time  when  we  came  to  New  Haven. 
[Applause.]  This  view  represents  Temple  Street,  not  as 
it  is  to-day,  but  as  it  was  wrhen  we  first  came  here,  and  this 
is  the  street  that  is  particularly  noted  as  having  at  the  end 
of  it  Moriarty's.  [Applause.]  It  is  somewhat  as  Phila- 
delphia is  known  as  the  place  where  Wanamaker's  is.  Mo- 
riarty's, the  Temple  Bar,  w7e  might  call  it,  of  America,  but 
oh,  Temple  Bar !  oh,  Mory's  !  To  think  that  we  could  come 
back  here  twenty-five  years  after,  and,  so  far  as  I  know, 
none  has  had  sufficient  interest  to  go  down  there. 


Hillhouse  Avenue 

This  you  will  all  recognize  as  Hillhouse  Avenue.     These 
are  not  contemporaneous  pictures,  these  are  pictures  that  have 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

been  dug  up  with  some  difficulty;  and  I  want  incidentally  to 
say  that  Billings  has  been  of  great  assistance  in  getting  to- 
gether this  collection.  [Applause  and  cries  of  "Billings  !"* 
This  is  Hillhouse  Avenue  as  it  was,  and  there  is  not  so  much 
change  in  its  appearance  as  in  the  occupants  of  the  houses  at 
either  side.  Beyond  the  corner  there,  where  we  turned  to 
the  right  under  the  leadership  of  Marshal  Williams  earlier 
this  evening,  is  the  house  where  we  attended  the  senior  re- 
ceptions of  Prexy  Porter,  and  Arthur  Wright  lived  on  the 
left,  and  you  see  the  old  Hillhouse  place  at  the  end,  and  that 
is  now  in  the  possession  of  the  college. 


College  Street 

Inadvertently  we  seem  to  be  retracing  the  steps  that  we 
took  this  afternoon.  We  are  coming  backward  from  Hill- 
house Avenue  into  College  Street,  and  of  course  you  will  see 
at  once  that  it  is  not  the  College  Street  of  to-day.  Some 
of  the  familiar  features  are  gone,  but  you  see  the  fine  old 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

State  House  at  the  right,  immortalized  as  the  background 
of  one  or  more  of  our  class  groups  which  I  will  show  you 
later  if  everything  works  all  right. 


Chapel  Street  and  "Beers'  Crossing" 

This  is  Chapel  Street  and  the  old  fence.  [Applause.] 
I  am  afraid  you  won't  understand  the  pictures  unless  I  ex- 
plain them  to  you.  There  is  the  old  fence,  and  there  is 
"Beers'  Crossing,"  where  we  used  to  go  over  and  get  "high 
rock  and  lime-juice."  We  used  to  stand  around  that  fence 
there,  waiting  for  some  one  of  sufficient  opulence  to  propose 
to  go  across.     [Laughter.] 

[Campus  with  Old  Brick  Row.]  [Tremendous  cheers.] 
[Reproduction  on  page  89.] 

There  you  have  the  old  campus  as  it  never  will  be  seen 
again,  boys.  I  think  we  had  better  sing  about  the  old  brick 
row.     We  have  a  song  that  was  introduced  in  the  opera 

C873 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

of  "Penikeese."  Let  's  have  a  verse  of  uThe  Old  Brick 
Row."  You  see  you  have  the  fence  there,  too  — the  seat  of 
learning.     [Applause.] 

Douw:  You  said,  Mr.  Speaker,  in  describing  Temple 
Street,  that  it  was  sad  to  think  that  no  member  of  the  class 
had  visited  Moriarty's.  I  was  there  yesterday  afternoon 
and  drank  a  Scotch  high-ball. 

A  Voice:    What!     Alone? 

[Song  by  the  angel  choir,  "The  Old  Brick  Row." 

THE  OLD  BRICK  ROW 

These  buildings  old,  this  old  brick  row. 

In  daylight  seem  in  sorry  plight ; 
But  with  what  splendor  do  they  glow, 

When  touched  by  magic  night ! 
A  grand  cathedral  arch  the  elms 

Above  the  glist'ning  campus  weave, 
And  music  from  the  elfin  realms 

Is  ever  heard  at  eve. 

Amid  these  leaf-embowered  glades. 

The  loyal  breast  with  joy  doth  heave; 
While  wandering  'neath  these  classic  shades, 

At  beauteous  starry  eve. 
The  grandest  marvel  of  design 

By  daytime  may  the  eye  delight, 
But  never,  never  can  outshine 

The  old  brick  row  at  night. 

Toast-master:  We  have  heard  the  angel  voices,  and  now 
"Facilis  descensus  Averno !"— Alumni  Hall  [referring  to 
next  view]. 

A  Voice:    That  is  no  pipe  dream  either! 

A  Voice:    Where  is  the  man  to  translate  that? 

Toast-master:    That    is    easily    recognizable.      Presently

That  is  introduced, 
boys,  because  they 
talk  of  demolishing

I  cannot  understand 
the  vandalism  which 
is  going  to  do  away

are  about  the  finest 
things  on  the  campus.

A  Voice:    Look  at  Badger's  bald  head  with  Greek  on  it. 

[Badger's  head  was  in  the  wTay 

of  the  picture.] 

Toast-master:    When    Greek 

meets  Yankee,  the  Greek  has  the 

advantage.  I  said  we  would  pass 

within,    but   I    am   not   sure   we 

would  all  pass  within.    I  want  to 

call  your  attention  to  one  of  the 

most    realistic    features    of    this 

production,   and  that   is  that  it 

shows   Badger's   head   with  the 

Greek    on    the    outside    of    it.

any  man  has  the  intrepidity  to

Toast-master:  That  was  the  office  of  the  old  presidents, 
and  that  is  where  that  famous  old  society  He  Boule  got  a 
new  lease  of  life.     Barclay  Johnson  and  I  went  in  there  to 


Old  Treasury  Building 

see  Prexy  Porter.  Barclay  was  the  spokesman,  and  I  stood 
In  the  doorway  to  cut  oil  retreat,  and  Barclay  said:  "Mr. 
President,  we  want  to  continue  this  excellent  debating  society 
which  the  class  of  '81  has  conducted  so  admirably."  And 
Prexy  asked  us  if  it  was  a  debating  society,  and  we  said  yes 
—  through  our  spokesman.  And  that  was  really  why  the 
fate  of  He  Boule  was  stayed  for  several  years.  It  hung 
upon  that  answer.

This  picture  signifies  something  to  old  Yale  men.  It  has 
the  old  ivies  on  it,  and  when  we  come  back  here,  certainly 
by  our  next  anniversary,  it  won't  be  here.  We  will  never 
see  that  building  again,  boys,  and  I  hope  you  will  take  a 
good  look  at  it.    They  are  going  to  remove  that,  too. 


Old  Gymnasium 

OH 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

I  will  say,  for  the  enlightenment  of  those  men  who  took 
so  much  interest  in  that  Greek  examination  paper,  that  that 
is  the  old  gym.  If  you  have  seen  the  new  gym,  it  affords 
by  contrast  a  pretty  good  gauge  or  measure,  certainly,  of 
physical  development,  or  I  might  say  of  the  opportunities 
for  physical  development. 

A  Voice:    They  turned  out  some  pretty  good  teams  there. 

Toast-master :  It  all  looks  small  now,  but  that  seemed 
like  an  awfully  long  track  after  you  had  been  around  it 
twenty  or  twenty-live  times. 


Hamilton  Park 


There  is  old  Hamilton  Park,  and  I  have  a  notion  that 
that  is  an  '82  crowd  out  there.  Perhaps  some  of  you  can 
recognize  it. 

A  Voice:    Sam  Hopkins  is  on  first  base.

Toast-master:  That  was  the  scene  of  some  of  our  great-

standpoint  of  the  athlete.     [Laughter.]

Badger:     We  got  the  fence  two  weeks  earlier  than  any

class  ever  got  it.  We  got  the  fence  the  twenty-sixth  day  of 
April,  1879  — two  weeks  earlier  than  any  class  ever  had  the 
fence  before. 

Toast-master:  That  nine  beat  the  Harvard  freshmen  19 
to  11  and  6  to  5,  and  judging  from  to-day's  result  I  think 
they  could  have  beaten  this  year's  Harvard  'varsity.  Hut 
that  's  nothing.     [Applause.] 

Badger:  Up  in  Cambridge  we  beat  them  two  games, 
the  first  time  the  Harvard  freshmen  were  ever  licked  on 
their  own  grounds,  and  Harry  Piatt  was  the  man  that  did 
the  trick  with  a  left-hand  stop.

'Varsity  Football  Team  of  '78 

There  is  what  is  known  as  the  first  Walter  Camp  team, 
and  it  is  historic  to-day,  and  it  must  be  interesting  to  any- 
body who  was  on  it,  and  to  the  class,  to  know  that  it  really 
goes  back  to  the  beginning  of  modern  football.  That  is  the 
fifteen  team,  and  we  had  but  one  fifteen  after  that.  That 
team  was  interesting  to  us  in  our  day  because  it  had  five 
freshmen  on  it,  four  from  our  class  and  one  from  Sheft. 
Five  freshmen  played  in  the  game  up  at  Boston  with  Har- 
vard. It  was  won  by  Yale  with  one  goal,  due  to  an  extraor- 
dinary kick  by  Thompson  from  the  middle  of  the  field.     He 

IT  95  3 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

hit  the  ball  with  the  side  of  his  foot.  He  was  not  a  drop- 
kicker;  he  was  a  rush. 

Badger:  May  I  say  a  word  about  that?  Six  men  from 
Adams  Academy  played  in  the  game  that  he  tells  you  about; 
live  were  on  the  Harvard  team,  and  myself  on  Yale. 

[Badger  names  the  players:  Camp,  Watson,  Peters, 
Nixon,  Moorhouse,  Eaton,  Lyman,  Harding,  Fuller,  Bad- 
ger, and  others.] 

Bailey:  Let  *s  have  one  drink  to  Chummie  Eaton,  as 
loval  a  Yale  bov  as  ever  lived,  and  he  would  be  here  now 
if  he  could. 

[Sophomore  fence.]      [For  reproduction  see  page  2.] 

Toast-master:  That  is  the  sophomore  fence,  which,  as 
Walter  said,  we  got  prematurely  through  the  efforts  of  him- 
self, others  ably  assisting.  That  is  the  fence  that  I  think 
Asa  French,  if  he  were  here,  would  say  that  he  had  some 
part  in  getting  by  his  oratory.  That  was  the  beginning  of 
Asa's  oratorical  career,  as  I  remember  it,  which  we  ex- 
pected would  culminate  to-night  in  his  response  to  a  toast, 
but  he  has  been  called  away,  greatly  to  our  regret.  I  don't 
know  whether  you  can  recognize  the  men  in  that  group. 


Murray  Hale 

Now  we  have  two  old  familiar  characters,   Murray  the

[Applause  and  laughter.]  I  certainly  think  Hale  ought  to 
have  one,  and  Murray,  too. 


Professor  Wright 


Professor  Phillips 


There  are  Andy  and  Baldie  as  they  were,  two  fine  charac- 
ters, the  students'  friends,  conscientious  instructors;  and  the 
warmth  of  feeling  that  was  displayed  when  they  came 
around  to  see  us  the  other  night  I  think  is  sufficient  apology 
for  my  selecting  those  two  men  to  represent  the  old  faculty. 
[Applause.] 

I  must  pause  a  minute  to  tell  you  a  story  that  is  going 
around  New  Haven  that  hinges  on  Professor  Wright.  There 
is  a  famous  English  lawyer,  Sir  John  Pollock,  who  came  over 
to  this  country  a  short  time  ago.  He  came  to  New  Haven, 
and  a  dinner  was  given  to  him  by  one  of  the  prominent  men 
here.  The  leaders  of  the  faculty  and  other  prominent  citi- 
zens were  invited  to  meet  him.  Shortly  after  the  dinner 
began,  Sir  John  Pollock's  head  began  to  nod,  and  in  a  short 
time  his  chin  was  on  his  chest,  his  eyelids  were  drooping;  he 
was  snoring  and  fast  asleep.  The  other  guests  were  aghast, 
but,  with  true  New  England  politeness,  they  went  right  on 

C97] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

with  their  conversation  and  paid  no  heed  to  him  whatever. 
In  a  short  time  Sir  John  woke  up  and  resumed  his  conversa- 
tion with  his  neighbors.  In  due  course  the  party  went  out  and 
had  their  cigars,  etc.  (it  was  a  stag  party),  and  Sir  John 
took  his  leave  rather  early,  and  his  host  accompanied  him 
to  the  door.  On  his  return  he  was  plied  immediately  with 
questions  as  to  whether  Sir  John  apologized,  because  there 
was  a  general  feeling  that  his  deportment  was,  to  say  the 
least,  quite  an  innovation,  if  not  a  breach  of  international 
comity.  "Well,"  the  host  said,  "he  did  n't  exactly  apolo- 
gize, but,  just  as  he  was  going  out  of  the  door,  he  said:  'I 
am  stopping,  you  know,  with  Dean  Wright,  and  they  rise 
very  early  at  the  dean's.'  "     [Laughter.] 


'Varsity  Football  Team  of  '79 

Now  we  are  passing  on  chronologically,  you  realize. 
There  is  the  football  team  of  the  next  year.  That  is  the 
last  "fifteen."  That  team  had  an  honorable  record,  but 
they  were  not  champions,  as  I  recollect  it.

That  is  where  we  had  Newton. 


Old  Laboratory 

Toast-master:  Here  is  the  old  building  at  the  left  where 
Professor  Arthur  Wright  held  forth.  As  he  said  the  other 
night,  the  incandescent  lamp  which  he  exhibited  to  us  he 
believed  to  be  the  first  incandescent  lamp  that  was  ever 
exhibited  or  lighted  in  Connecticut.  I  remembered  that  fact; 
but  I  want  to  say  (which  I  did  not  say  to  him)  that  I  re- 
membered also  the  fact  that  Professor  Wright  said  that  the 
electric  light  would,  no  doubt,  play  a  very  important  part  in 
outdoor  illumination,  but  it  would  probably  never  be  used 
for  interior  illumination  [laughter],  showing  the  short- 
sightedness of  even  the  most  enlightened.

Now  that  is  a  group  of  the  "Penikeese"  opera  caste.  I 
should  like  to  have  Billie  Williams  or  somebody  tell  who 
some  of  those  disreputable-looking  characters  are. 

Williams:  There  is  Frank  Snell,  Miss  Gaffney,  who  sang 
in  Trinity  Church  at  that  time,  Woodward,  etc.  [Naming

Professor  Phelps  Professor  Dana

larly dear  to  our  class,  and  these  are  two  of  the  men  who

typify  the  old  Yale.  "There  were  giants  in  those  days." 
Those  were  two  of  the  grand  old  men.  You  know  the  after 
career  of  Professor  Phelps  as  Minister  to  England,  and 
Professor  Dana,  of  course,  is  also  gone. 


President  Porter 

[Long-continued  applause  and  cheers.] 

President  Porter's  characteristics  have  been  splendidly 
portrayed  in  some  verses  by  Rogers  of  '83,  and  I  will  read 
you  just  a  verse  or  two  of  his  tribute : 

Alike  all  loved  him:  careful  student,  drone, 

Scapegrace  or  steady  man ;  all  knew 
His  mild  reproof  was  for  their  help  alone, 

And  his  reproofs  were  few. 
No  man  remembers  him  to  have  his  heart 
Tingle  with  some  keen,  unforgotten  smart. 

No  gift  of  comeliness  had  he,  scant  grace 

Of  bearing,  little  pride  of  mien  — 
He  had  the  rugged  old-time  Roundhead  face, 

Severe  and  yet  serene ; 
But,  through  those  keen  and  steadfast  eyes  of  blue 
The  soul  shone  fearless,  modest,  strong,  and  true. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 


Glee  Club 

This  is  the  Glee  Club,  senior  year.  I  want  to  say  that  of 
course  it  was  impossible  to  get  a  complete  collection  of  the 
athletic  teams  or  other  views,  so  I  just  picked  out  these 
that  are  shown  as  typical.  You  will  look  upon  this  view 
with  variable  degrees  of  pleasure,  probably. 


'Varsity  Crew  of  '82 


There  is  the  university  crew,  senior  year:  Hull,  Storrs, 
Rogers,  Parrott,  and  others. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 


Football  Team  of  '81 


One  more  football  team.  They  were  the  champions  that 
year,  and,  as  I  remember  it,  that  year  we  had  the  tri-cham- 
pionship,  the  triple  crown.     [Applause.] 


Varsitv  Ball  Nine  of  '82 


There  is  the  ball  nine,  the  'varsity  of  senior  year.  They 
were  the  champions.  That  is  one  of  the  nines  that  used  to 
beat  the  professionals.     That  was  a  great  team,  boys.     If 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

I  am  not  mistaken,  that  was  the  year  that  Harry  Piatt  led 
the  batting  list  of  all  the  intercollegiate  nines;  is  that  so, 
Harry? 

Piatt:    No,  it  is  not  so.     [He  led  the  fielding  in  '81.] 

Badger:  I  want  to  tell  you  one  thing.  We  saw  the  ball 
game  played  to-day.  When  Harry  Piatt  played  on  that 
ball  team,  he  said:  "Badger,  I  can't  do  the  trick."  I  said: 
uYes,  you  must,  Harry."  He  said:  "Then  I  will  try."  He 
showed  me  his  arm.  From  the  shoulder  down  to  his  wrist 
it  was  absolutely  black  and  blue.  Harry  Piatt  played  the 
game  out  for  old  Yale  and  '82,  and  we  won  out.  [Ap- 
plause.] May  I  say  one  thing  more?  You  remember  to-day 
that  the  first  baseman  jumped  up  in  the  air  and  caught  the 
ball,  and  the  man  running  was  not  out.  I  said  to  Harry: 
"I  tell  you,  Harry,  if  that  had  been  Sam  Hopkins,  he  would 
have  lengthened  out."     [Laughter.] 

Parsons:    Boys,  three  times  three  for  Harry  Piatt. 

Toast-master:  Badger's  allusion  to  Sam  Hopkins  re- 
minds me  of  some  quotation,  I  don't  know  whom  it  is  from, 
but  it  runs  to  the  effect  that  "Their  endowments  make  these 
base  men  great."     [Loud  laughter.] 

['82  trophies.]     [Reproduction  on  opposite  page.] 

In  lieu  of  showing  all  the  teams  in  whose  honors  '82 
shared,  I  will  just  show  in  this  picture  a  few  of  our  trophies. 
These  are  the  trophies  of  senior  year.  It  is  impossible  to 
show  all  on  a  screen  only  about  five,  by  six  feet. 

Badger  (pointing)  :  That  is  the  one  "Tufa"  Darling 
and  I  won  in  the  three-legged  race.  I  have  it  in  my  room 
now. 

Toast-master:  Fellows,  we  do  not  look  upon  athletics  as 
the  chief  thing  in  college  life,  but  we  think  they  have  a  good 
deal  to  do  with  the  development  of  the  Yale  spirit.  I  think 
that  is  about  the  last  of  the  athletic  pictures,  and  now  sup- 
pose we  give  three  times  three  cheers  for  the  athletes  of 
Yale  of  our  time.

Pardee:  I  want  to  give  three  times  three  for  Chester 
Lyman  for  thinking  of  all  these  pictures  and  pulling  them 
out  here,  for  he  is  the  only  man  that  wTould  think  of  it. 

Toast-master :     You  wait,  please,  until  I  get  through. 

[Graduation  group.]     [Reproduction  on  opposite  page.] 

Here  is  the  graduation  group  of  our  class,  taken  at  the 
old  State  House.  That  shows  howT  nice  a  thing  it  is  to 
select  a  good  background,  because  the  old  State  House  is  no 
more,  and  that  view  is  of  historic  interest  to  us  all. 

I  should  like  to  have  the  lights  turned  up,  and  if  you  will 
turn  to  the  songs  of  '82,  you  will  find  the  Parting  Ode  there. 
Let  us  sing  the  Parting  Ode,  because  that  was  the  breaking 
up,  that  was  the  end  of  the  first  era  of  '82. 

PARTING  ODE 

BY  J.   E.  WHITNEY 

Swift  our  college  days  have  passed, 

Like  a  vision  fleeting, 
Filled  with  joys  too  bright  to  last, 

Down  the  years  retreating ; 
And  the  ever  earnest  call 

Of  the  years  advancing, 
Speaking  to  us  one  and  all, 

Breaks  the  dream  entrancing. 

While  we  swell  the  parting  strain, 

Be  it  softly  spoken, 
We  shall  never  meet  again 

In  a  band  unbroken. 
But  though  severed  far  and  wide, 

With  new  scenes  delighted, 
Time  nor  tide  can  e'er  divide 

Hearts  at  Yale  united.

And  whatever  may  ensue, 

Fortune  less  or  greater. 
We  will  live  for  Eighty-two, 

And  for  Alma  Mater. 
Then  before  the  last  farewell 

Let  us  pledge  to  cherish 
In  our  hearts  their  happy  spell 

Till  remembrance  perish. 


Barclay  Johnson 


Ernest  Whitney 


Toast-master :  Boys,  "lest  we  forget,''  here  are  two  of  the 
men  who  were  very  prominent  in  our  college  life,  and  would 
have  been  prominent  in  after  life,  had  their  lives  been  pre- 
served. I  reproduce  this  because  Barclay,  as  you  know, 
was  our  valedictorian,  a  lovable  fellow,  and  Whitney  was 
our  class  poet,  a  lovable  fellow.  They  stand  for  that  large 
number  who  have  gone  already.  Wentworth  was  the  first. 
Barnes,  though  not  in  our  class  at  the  time,  followed  quickly. 

OS] 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Shortly  after  we  were  graduated,  Cuyler  went  over  to  the 
beyond,  and  then,  one  after  another,  some  of  our  best  men 
went.  Now  let  us  not  forget  that  all  these  men  were  an 
important  element  in  our  class,  and  simply  because  they 
have  gone  ahead,  let  us  not  fail  to  cherish  their  memories. 
Let  us  stand  and  drink  a  toast  to  the  dead,  a  silent  toast. 

Now,  while  we  are  standing,  I  want  you  to  sing  the  Ivy 
Ode,  which  Whitney  composed.    The  air  is  "Lorelei." 

IVY  ODE 

O  Ivy  newly  starting 

In  tenderness  and  grace, 
Our  final  clasp  at  parting 

Above  thy  resting  place 
Shall  hallow  thee  forever, 

While  memory  is  true 
To  ties  that  now  we  sever 

Around  dear  'Eighty-two. 

May  Spring  give  thee  the  vigor 

To  flourish  in  thy  seat, 
Despite  the  Winter's  rigor, 

And  Summer's  scorching  heat; 
May  rains  and  sunbeams  gentle 

Like  blessings  on  thee  fall, 
Until  thy  beauties  mantle 

The  cold  and  naked  wall. 

O  lend  us  inspiration 

To  live  as  thou  wilt  live, 
Whatever  be  our  station, 

To  ever  nobly  strive 
With  fairest  deeds  of  duty, 

Though  fond  ambition  fail, 
To  deck  with  fadeless  beauty 

The  name  of  dear  old  Yale.

[Twentieth  reunion  group.]    [Reproduction  on  page  51.] 

Now  we  come  down  almost  to  the  present.     We  have 

reached  the  end  of  our  college  reminiscences.     This  is  the 

'82  group,  with  which  most  of  you  are  familiar,  and  I  think 

I  need  not  delay  with  it,  the  twentieth  anniversary  group. 


Tutor  Hadlev 


President  Hadlev 


Those  show  Hadley  as  he  was  in  our  time,  and  as  he  was 

a  short  time  ago.  Let  's  have 
three  times  three  for  the  tutor 
and  for  the  President.  [Three 
times  three  for  President 
Hadlev.] 

I  am  introducing  Holland 
now  a  little  out  of  place,  be- 
cause he  is  unable  to  be  here 
to  respond  to  the  toast  as 
billed.  I  am  sure  he  is  most 
regretful  himself.  That  is 
Ted  Holland  in  his  most  re- 
cent photograph.    He  sent  on 


Ted  Holland 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 


some  very  interesting  lines  which  will  be  read  later.  Ted  is 
out  in  Denver,  and  only  the  call  of  duty  prevented  his  being 
here.  I  have  had  correspondence  with  him,  and  Billie  has, 
and  he  was  keen  to  get  here,  and  it  was  only  a  sense  of 
duty  that  kept  him  away. 

That  is  Senator  Kittredge 
of  South  Dakota  as  he  is. 
He  was  unable  to  be  here 
because,  as  I  understand  it, 
his  continuing  to  be  Senator 
hinged  upon  his  remaining 
out  West  and  conducting  a 
vigorous  campaign.  I  want 
to  say,  as  you  perhaps  know, 
he  is  known  as  the  silent  Sen- 
ator, and  he  certainly  is  a 
wonderfully  modest  man.  I 
had  great  difficulty  in  even 
getting  a  picture  of  him.  I 
had  men  searching  the  pho- 
tograph galleries  of  Wash- 
ington, and  all  they  could 
find  was  a  negative.  I  don't 
know  whether  that  indicates  that  he  is  so  modest  as  not  to 
have  his  picture  taken,  or  whether  they  are  in  such  demand 
that  the  supply  is  exhausted.  Kit,  as  you  know,  has  been  a 
conspicuous  figure  in  Washington,  and  his  reputation  rests 
largely  upon  his  vigorous  fight,  first,  for  the  Panama  Canal, 
and,  secondarily,  for  having  the  canal  built  on  a  level.  It 
seems  that  they  were  not  willing  to  have  the  canal  built  "on 
the  level,"  so  that  I  think  that  scores  a  point  for  our  mem- 
ber. We  little  thought  that  Kit  would  become  the  biggest 
dig  of  the  class.  [Applause  and  three  times  three  for  the 
Senator.]

That  is  Russell  Yale  O'Hanlon,  although  I  think  at  the 
time  the  picture  was  taken  it  was  Russell  Yale  Hanlon, 
which  reminds  me  of  the  story  of  a  fellow  by  the  name  of 
Hooley  who  came  over  from  Ireland.  He  said:  "When  I 
first  went  to  work,  I  was  called  Pat,  and  pretty  soon  they 
began  to  call  me  Patrick  Hooley.  I  became  foreman  of  our 
job,  and  they  called  me  Mr.  Hooley.  When  I  became  alder- 
man they  called  me  the  Honorable  Mr.  Hooley,  and  one 
day  I  was  walking  up  Fifth  Avenue  with  my  wife,  and  I 
went  into  one  of  the  churches,  and  started  to  walk  up  the 
aisle,  when  all  the  people  got  up  and  began  to  sing  'Hooley, 
Hooley,  Hooley!'  '  [Laughter.]  There  is  the  boy,  and 
there  is  the  man.  That  picture  was  taken  in  the  Sierras, 
where  he  was  an  engineer.  He  was  a  self-educated  engi- 
neer. I  gather  from  his  history  that  O'Hanlon  was  unable 
to  afford  himself  a  college  education,  so  he  took  a  course 
in  the  Scranton   Correspondence  School  and  made  himself

an  engineer,  and  has  gone  on  very  successfully,  up  step  by 
step,  and  at  the  present  time  he  is  in  Korea  in  connection 
with  the  Oriental  Randolph  Exploration  Company,  or  some- 
thing of  the  sort.  I  have  a  notion  that  it  is  one  that  I  Iarry 
Piatt  may  know  something  about,  but  I  am  not  sure. 

Piatt:    Mr.  Toast-master,  I  propose  three  times  three  for 
the  Class  Boy. 

Toast-master:  When  the  questions  were  sent  out  by  Dill- 
ingham in  preparation  for  our  record,  I  was  astonished  at 
the  thoroughness  of  them.  It  seemed  to  me  that  he  had  pro- 
vided for  everything  excepting  for  what  an  X-ray  picture 
would  show,  for  he  had  asked  all  kinds  of  questions  con- 
ceivable. He  had  even  asked  you  to  fill  in  statistics  in  regard 
to  your  grandchildren!  I  did  n't  know  whether  that  was  in 
anticipation  of  the  fact  that  the  records  might  be  some  time 
in  coming  out  [derisive  laughter],  judging  from  past  ex- 
perience (due,  of  course,  not  to  any  remissness  on  the  part 
of  the  publication  committee,  but  to  the  great  difficulty  of 
getting  replies  quickly).  In  looking  over  the  twentieth 
reunion  record,  I  noticed  that  Dil- 
lingham, in  his  preface,  spoke  of 
the  short-Qommgs  of  the  record.  It 
seemed  to  me  that  a  more  proper 
term  would  have  been  the  long- 
comings  of  the  record.  [Laugh- 
ter.] Now,  by  a  sagacity  which  is 
very  remarkable,  they  have  pro- 
vided for  things  just  as  they  are, 
and  others  of  the  class  have  not 
been  idle  either.  I  don't  know 
whether  to  commend  most  those 
who  prepared  the  questions  as  to 
who  your  grandchildren  were,  or 
those  who  were  at  work  producing  grandchildren,  because, 
boys  of  '82,  that  is  your  first  grandchild!     [Applause.]     I

don't  know  his,  her,  or  its  exact  name,  but  I  know  that  it  is 
the  grandchild  of  Chummie  Eaton.  [Loud  applause  and 
three  times  three  for  our  grandchild.]  It  is  a  fact,  and  the 
baby  is  only  a  few  days  old,  less  than  two  weeks,  I  think,  and 
it  is  the  child  of  Chummie  EJaton's  daughter,  and  but  for 
that  event  Chummie  would  be  with  us  to-night. 

Allen:     I  did  n't  know  it  affected  the  grandfathers  that 

way,  Chester.  [Laughter.] 
Toast-master :  This  is 
an  opportune  time,  before 
proceeding  to  expatiate  on 
this  present  picture  before 
us,  to  allude  to  a  message 
that  I  have  here,  two  mes- 
sages in  fact,  if  I  can  find 
them.  You  know  that  we 
expected  Brewster  here, 
and  you  know  what  an 
earnest,  enthusiastic  fel- 
low he  is,  and  he  set  his 
heart  on  coming,  but  there 
was  an  event  anticipated 
in  his  family  which  made 
it  very  uncertain  as  to 
whether  he  would  come  or  not.  I  learned  this  from  a  doc- 
tor who  has  recently  arrived  from  Salt  Lake  City,  and  we 
also  have  a  telegram  from  him.  You  know  Brewster  was  a 
good  deal  of  a  wit,  but  I  think  the  best  joke  that  he  ever 
perpetrated  is  comprised  in  this  despatch  from  him,  which 
reads:  "I  must  abandon  trip;  little  William  will  not  hurry." 
[Laughter.] 

Shortly  before  I  came  over  here  this  evening,  I  received 

this  despatch:  "William  came  to-night,  and  yells  for  '82." 

[Applause  and  three  times  three  for  little  William  Brewster.]

ago  at  the  ball  game,  how  the  result  hung  in  the  balance, 
and  the  class  boy  of  '80,  the  class  that  was  holding  its  twen- 
ty-fifth anniversary,  stepped  up  to  the  bat,  hit  the  ball,  and 
made  a  home  run,  and  that  was  accounted  the  most  delight- 
ful event  of  the  anniversary  of  the  class  of  '8o.  Now  this 
is  anticipating  a  little,  but  I  want  to  introduce  to  you  now 
the  son  of  Rice,  Welles  Kennon  Rice,  who  is  a  member  of 
the  university  crew,  and  will  surely  do  creditable  work  next 
Thursday,  and  it  would  certainly  be  a  great  satisfaction  to 
us  if  we  could  see  him,  and  the  other  seven  men  who  will 
probably  help  him  some,  carry  the  boat  over  the  line  ahead 
of  Harvard.  [Loud  applause  and  three  times  three  for 
young  Rice.] 

Rice:  Billie  kindly  gave  me  a  badge  for  the  boy,  which 
I  have  sent  down  to  him,  and 
if  they  win,  the  '82  badge  will 
go  over  the  line  first.  [Ap- 
plause.] The  boy  sent  his 
thanks  to  the  class  for  it. 

Toast-master :  I  want  to 
bring  in  the  man  on  whom 
more  eyes  in  this  country  are 
fixed  than  perhaps  on  anybody 
else,  excepting  the  President. 
And  we  hope  some  day  (I 
think  a  great  many  of  us  do, 
but  I  don't  want  to  make  any 
political  issue  at  all)  that  he 
will  be  the  successor  of  Presi- 
dent Roosevelt,  and  those  of 
us  who  can  do  so  conscien- 
tiously will  support  him  and  •  Biir  Taft 
will    welcome    seeing    such    a 

sterling,  typical,  representative  Yale  man  as  Bill    I  aft  suc- 
ceed to  the  Presidency.      [Applause.]     It  reminds  me  of  a 

C"5n 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 


little  story  that  I  heard  about  him.  He  was  having  his 
shoes  shined  on  a  public  stand,  and  he  was  being  very  much 
annoyed  by  newspaper  boys  trying  to  sell  him  papers.  A 
friend  waiting  for  him  finally  said  to  the  boys:  ''There  is 
no  use  asking  that  man  to  buy,  or  talking  to  that  man;  he  is 
deaf,  he  can't  hear  what  you  say."  "Gee  whiz!"  said  the 
bow    "is   that   so?      He   's    a    fat   son-of-a-gun,    ain't   he?" 

[Laughter.] 

That  is  "Ting."  I  sup- 
pose you  are  more  or  less 
familiar  with  his  career,  and 
with  the  fact  that  he  has 
risen  to  high  rank  in  China, 
and  has  had  a  very  honora- 
ble career  since  he  left  col- 
lege. For  twenty  years,  I 
think,  he  was  confidential 
secretary  and  adviser  of  Li 
Hung  Chang,  who  is  looked 
upon  by  all  Chinese  and  the 
world  at  large  as  being  the 
greatest  Chinese  statesman 
of  our  day,  and  Sir  Chen- 
tung  Liang  Cheng,  the  pres- 
ent Chinese  Minister,  said 
that  very  much  of  the  credit 
that  had  been  given  to  Chang  for  broad  views  was  due, 
no  doubt,  to  the  counsel  and  advice  of  his  confidential  ad- 
viser and  secretary,  our  old  friend  "Ting."  "Ting,"  as 
you  probably  know,  is  to  succeed  the  present  Chinese  Min- 
ister, Sir  Chentung,  and  we  hoped  to  have  him  here  to- 
night, but  he  will  not  come  to  this  country  for  a  month  or 
two.  After  being  secretary  of  Chang,  he  was  made  taotai 
of  Tientsin,  and  that  is  a  very  high  position  and  office,  and 
a  very  remunerative  one.     I  am  told  that  his  salary  was

THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

three  hundred  thousand  dollars  a  year,  but  that,  in  a  spirit 
of  retrenchment,  they  had  cut  the  salary  down  to  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  dollars;  still,  as  Sam  I  [opkins  very 
aptly  said,  "every  day  counts  when  you  are  getting  a  salarv 
of  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars  a  year."  [Laugh- 
ter and  applause.] 

Welch:  I  want  to  say  here  is  a  telegram  that  came  from 
"Ting"  by  which  some  of  that  salary  goes  into  the  '82  fund. 
[Three  times  three  for  "Ting."] 


"Ting"  Liang 

Toast-master:  In  the  center  you  see  "Ting"  as  he  is  now 
or  wras  quite  recently;  the  center  dignitary  is  "Ting,"  and 
is  n't  it  quite  interesting  to  see  the  changes  in  the  man? 
"Ting"  was  writh  us  about  three  years,  but  during  a  revolu- 
tion in  the  government  he  wras  recalled.  It  was  not  within 
the  range  of  possibilities  for  him  to  complete  his  course  and 
take  his  degree.     But  I  am  authorized  to  state  to  the  mem- 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

bers  of  the  class  only  that  the  faculty  have  recommended 
that  he  receive  the  degree  of  A.B.,  with  enrolment  in  the 
class  as  of  '82,  and  the  corporation  will  confirm  it  to-mor- 
row, and  the  announcement  will  be  duly  made.    [Applause.] 


"TING"  LIANG 

(Dedicated  to  the  new  Chinese  Minister)1 

We  revel  in  song, 

Oo-long  and  ping-pong, 
Far  o'er  the  ocean  and  with  deep  emotion 

Make  love  to  "our  best" 

At  the  chop-suey  fest 
As  with  chop-sticks  we  beat  on  a  gong. 

Chorus: 

"Ting"  Liang,  "Ting"  Liang, 

Oo-long,  ping-pong, 
Those  are  the  principal  words  of  our  song, 

"Ting"  Liang,  "Ting"  Liang, 

Oo-long,  ping-pong, 
As  with  chop-sticks  we  beat  on  a  gong. 


Toast-master:  The  class  has  achieved  honor  in  almost 
every  sphere  of  activity  that  I  can  think  of,  but  it  seems 
as  though  in  the  medical  profession  we  had  been  quite  pre- 
eminent. In  various  cities  East  and  West  we  have  men  wTho 
stand  high  in  the  medical  profession.  Here  is  the  man  who, 
as  you  know,  was  one  of  the  quiet  workers  in  college,  who

appointed  President  of  the  Board  of  Foreign  Affairs,  and  did  not  come  to  this  country.

has  gone  steadily  forward,  who  has  advanced  not  only  by 
reason  of  his  accomplishments,  but  by  reason  of  his  per- 
sonal character— such  an 
important  element  in  a  suc- 
cessful professional  man, 
particularly  in  medicine. 
That  preeminence  which 
he  enjoys  in  Xew  York  and 
in  the  country  has  received 
the  recognition  of  all  his 
confreres  in  the  profes- 
sion. They  have  united, 
some  of  the  most  eminent 
physicians  have  united,  in 
seeking  for  him  some  rec- 
ognition from  his  Alma 
Mater,  and  I  have  the 
pleasure  of  announcing  (I 
think  this  is  news  to  almost 
all   of   you),    and   this    is 

.  Cragin 

anticipating  another  an- 
nouncement of  to-morrowT,  that  Cragin  will  receive  the  de- 
gree of  M.A.  [Applause.]  I  wish  I  could  quote  to  you 
some  of  the  high  testimonials  which  it  was  my  privilege  to 
read  from  some  of  the  most  eminent  men  in  the  country 
in  regard  to  his  attainments.  To  be  slightly  "levitious" 
—to  use  the  word  he  coined  in  classroom  — I  saw  a  list 
of  the  works  that  he  has  contributed  to  the  science  of  medi- 
cine and  surgery,  and  he  has  written  whole  volumes  on  sub- 
jects which  it  makes  me  blush  to  even  think  about.  [Laugh- 
ter.] I  am  sure  that  even  the  titles  must  be  excluded  from 
our  class  record,  or  the  records  will  be  excluded  from  the 
mails.  Let  's  give  three  times  three  cheers  for  Cragin,  one 
of  the  most  eminent  men  of  the  class.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

I  have  been  really  anticipating,  and  I  must  go  back  a  bit 
to  bring  me  down  to  the  immediate  present,  and  the  next 
view  will  conclude  the  series. 

[Class  picture  taken  2  P.M.,  June  25,  1907.]  [Repro- 
duction on  page  54.] 

This  is  the  view  taken  of  us  this  afternoon  at  the  Library, 
and  it  is  an  extraordinarily  good  view,  I  think.  I  don't  think 
it  is  necessary  for  any  one  to  point  out  who  they  are. 
[Laughter  and  applause.] 

Now  I  think  a  song  would  be  in  order.  That  is  the  end 
of  the  pictures.  I  hope  I  am  not  protracting  the  program 
too  much. 

We  now  are  down  to  the  toasts,  and  we  are  going  to  ask 
one  man  to  work  overtime  to-night,  as  he  has  already  made 
one  speech  to-day.  This  is  a  man  who,  through  accident  of 
birth,  occupied  the  first  position  in  the  class  at  the  beginning 
of  our  course.  His  name  began  with  A,  and  was  first  on  the 
list  when  the  class  was  divided  alphabetically;  but,  overcom- 
ing or  rather  supplementing  the  advantages  of  birth,  he 
very  nearly  held  the  position  of  supremacy,  only  being  sur- 
passed by  our  dear  valedictorian  Barclay.  The  man  whom 
I  have  in  mind  has  devoted  himself  to  the  teaching  of 
young  men,  and  another  accident  has  placed  him  where 
his  influence  is  not  in  the  direction  of  producing  men  for 
Yale,  but  he  is  doing  great  work  in  connection  with  a 
sister  university.  He,  with  President  Harper,  went  to  Chi- 
cago in  1890,  I  think,  or  1892,  and  organized  Chicago 
University,  which  has  become  so  great  an  institution.  This 
man  stands  as  one  of  the  representatives  of  a  large  element 
of  our  class  who  have  devoted  themselves  to  pedagogic 
work;  no  less  than  fourteen  of  them  are  so  occupied,  exem- 
plifying the  saying,  which  is  very  common  in  regard  to  Yale, 
that  she  is  the  "teacher  of  teachers."  It  is  in  recognition  of 
that  fact  that  we  are  serving  to-night  that  beverage  which 
must  be  to  the  pedagogues  as  ambrosia  was  to  the  gods  and 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

demigods  of  the  past— Teachers'  Scotch.  Had  we  known 
that  Scotch  whisky  was  the  beverage  of  the  teachers,  I  am 
sure  more  of  us  might  have  followed  that  line.  [Laughter 
and  applause.]  I  will  now  ask  Professor  Frank  Frost  Ab- 
bott to  respond  to  the  toast  "Lessons."  Abbott,  you  may 
recite. 

Abbott:  Mr.  Toast-master  and  Fellows:  You  have 
heard  enough  from  me  already.  I  am  not  really  responsible 
for  this  second  appearance  to-day,  and  I  want  you  to  charge 
it  up  to  the  committee,  to  which  we  are  charging  up  every- 
thing, of  course,  to-night.  I  have  no  speech  to  make,  but 
now  that  I  am  on  my  feet,  there  are  two  things  that  I  want 
to  say.  One  is  that  I  shall  always  remember  that  noble 
army  of  martyrs  that  I  looked  down  on  from  the  platform 
in  Alumni  Hall  this  morning  during  those  two  sweltering 
hours  of  oratory.  When  there  were  easy  chairs  and  cooling 
drinks  in  the  class  tent,  it  was  one  of  the  most  touching  illus- 
trations of  class  loyalty  that  I  have  ever  had  the  good  for- 
tune to  witness,  to  see  those  heroic  souls  sit  and  wait  for  the 
class  of  '82  to  be  called  upon,  and  it  will  be  a  very  pleasant 
thing  to  remember  in  the  future.     [Applause.] 

The  other  thing  that  I  want  to  say  (because  I  am  not 
going  to  take  the  time  of  the  others  who  are  to  follow,  and 
whom  you  want  to  hear  more  than  you  want  to  hear  me)  — 
the  other  thing  that  I  want  to  say  is  suggested  by  the  flatter- 
ing remarks,  unnecessarily  flattering  remarks,  which  the 
toast-master  made  in  introducing  me.  After  hearing  them, 
I  feel  that  perhaps  I  ought  to  say  a  word  in  excuse  of  my 
apparent  falling  from  grace  in  the  choice  of  a  profession. 
Many  of  us  did  not  have  the  pleasantest  impressions  in  all 
cases  of  the  man  behind  the  desk  twenty-five  years  ago. 
[Laughter.]  But  Fate  has  put  me  there  for  the  last  twenty 
years  or  more  ;  yet  there  are  extenuating  circumstances  which 
I  think  even  such  a  rigid  jurist  as  our  learned  classmate 
from  Waterbury,   for  example,   or  my  distinguished  legal 

00 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

friend  here  at  the  right  would  regard  as  lessening  the  hein- 
ousness  of  the  offense.  For  instance  (this  is  personal,  be- 
cause this  is  a  family  party  to-night),  I  have  tried  to  take 
our  soft-spoken  clergyman  friend  of  freshman  year,  whose 
memory  is  still  green  with  some  of  us,  as  a  warning,  not  as 
an  example.     [Applause.] 

I  have  also  tried  to  put  myself  in  the  place  of  the  man  on 
the  bench.  I  have  remembered  that  list  of  fine  fellows, 
which  runs  from  J.  Allen,  M.  Allen,  Atterbury,  Badger, 
Bailey,  to  Wells,  Wight,  Williams,  and  Wright.  I  try  to 
remember  that  what  happens  in  the  classroom  does  n't 
count.  It  was  our  life  together  outside  the  classroom  that 
did  count,  and  I  think  we  have  all  felt  here  this  week,  more 
perhaps  than  we  even  felt  in  college,  that  the  coming  to 
know  one  hundred  and  fifty  or  more  fine  fellows,  in  fair 
weather  and  in  foul,  is  the  thing  that  is  really  worth  while. 
When  you  and  I  have  happened  to  meet  during  the  last 
five,  ten,  fifteen,  or  twenty  years,  and  during  this  last  week, 
when  we  have  talked  over  things  together,  we  have  not 
talked  about  geometry  or  political  economy,  or  even  about 
that  most  fascinating  subject  of  Latin,  but  we  have  talked 
of  the  little  things  that  happened  to  us  together.  Not  that 
these  small  happenings  were  in  themselves  important;  they 
were  not  tragic;  they  were  not  so  very  funny,  either,  but 
they  were  significant  to  us  because  they  brought  up  the  old 
days,  because  they  were  a  part  of  our  life  here  together. 
So  the  first  thing  we  think  of  in  these  reunions  is  not,  it 
seems  to  me,  what  men  in  the  class  have  done  in  the  last 
twenty-five  years,  for  we  knew  they  would  do  things  worth 
doing  in  the  world,  but  it  is  what  they  were  as  men  twenty- 
five  years  ago,  what  they  are  as  men  to-day.  [Applause.] 
Of  course  we  are  proud  of  their  achievements.  When  peo- 
ple talk,  for  instance,  about  the  relations  between  the  far 
East  and  America,  we  think  of  one  of  the  members  of  our 
class  who  has  had  and  still  has  so  distinguished  a  part  in 

CI223 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

directing  them,  as  the  toast-master  said  a  few  minutes  ago. 
When  any  one  speaks  of  the  Panama  Canal,  we  call  to  mind 
another  member  of  our  class  who  has  laid  broad  and  deep 
the  legal  foundations  of  that  enterprise.  Still  other  '82 
men  are  at  the  top  of  their  professions  in  the  law,  in  medi- 
cine, in  education;  yet  it  is  not  thai  that  we  think  of.  We 
knew  they  could  do  these  things.  It  is  what  they  were  and 
what  they  are  as  men  which  appeals  to  us.     [Applause.] 

There  is  only  one  other  thing  I  want  to  say  before  giving 
way  to  the  eloquence  which  is  to  follow,  a  thing  which  has 
come  on  me  very  strongly  during  this  past  week,  to  which 
Chester  has  already  referred  — the  fact  that  our  class 
has  had  no  clique,  no  factions,  that  it  has  been  a  unit; 
that,  from  the  night  before  entering,  when  we  locked  arms 
on  the  old  Grammar  School  lot  in  the  face  of  a  common 
enemy,  up  to  the  day  when  we  marched  together  onto  the 
platform  at  Center  Church,  we  have  faced  the  same  music, 
we  have  been  one;  and  that  spirit  of  solidarity,  which  I 
believe  we  may  claim  is  a  peculiar  characteristic  of  the  class 
of  '82,  is  one  of  the  pleasantest  memories  and  one  of  the 
finest  recollections  that  I,  at  least  (and  I  think  the  same  is 
true  of  all  of  us) ,  will  carry  away  from  this  week  of  reunion 
here.     [Prolonged  applause.] 

Toast-master :  Scanning — we  were  wont  to  look  with 
aversion,  I  think,  upon  the  task  of  scanning  when  we  were  in 
college;  but  it  is  one  thing  to  have  to  scan,  and  another  thing 
to  have  the  scanning  done  for  you.  Holland  has  sent  on  some 
poetical  lines  which  I  am  going  to  ask  another  member  of 
the  class  to  read.  There  is  a  saying  that  next  praiseworthy 
to  the  man  who  creates  a  great  expression  is  he  who  first 
quotes  it.  I  think  that  may  be  slightly  changed  so  as  to 
apply  to  the  work  of  the  one  who  will  now  act  as  the  voice 
of  Holland.  I  will  ask  Palmer  to  read  Holland's  message 
to  the  class. 

Palmer:    When  Lyman  asked  me  to  read  these  lines,  he 

ci23n 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  *82 

asked  me  to  read  them  as  my  own.  I  thought  I  was  going 
to  grasp  a  halo  of  glory,  but  he  has  not  only  put  Holland's 
name  on  the  program,  but  shown  you  his  picture,  so  there  is 
nothing  in  it  for  me  at  all.     But  I  will  proceed: 


When  the  fun  is  at  its  height 
In  the  middle  of  the  night, 

Pause,  and  think 
Of  the  classmates  far  away, 
And  let  some  good  fellow  say, 
"Take  a  drink!" 


BEING   A   FEW   INCONSEQUENTIAL  LINES  INSCRIBED   BY 

THEODORE   HOLLAND 

TO    HIS   CLASSMATES   OF 

YALE   '82 


IN    BEHALF   OF   ANY  UNFORTUNATE  WHO,  LIKE   HIMSELF,  MIGHT  BE  CALLED 

"THE  MAN  WHO  COULD  N'T  COME" 

There  's  a  rumor  borne  by  the  evening  breeze 

Which  has  reached  'way  out  to  me. 
It  started,  they  say,  in  the  old  elm-trees 

In  a  city  by  the  sea — 
In  a  city  celebrated  for 

Its  university. 

It  has  found  its  way  over  hill  and  dale, 

Over  mountain  and  river  and  plain, 
To  the  ramparts  high  that  cut  the  sky 

Where  the  Rockies  rise  amain 
And  peaks  glow  bright  in  the  sunset  light 

Like  domes  of  a  gilded  fane. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

The  seismographs,  the  world  around, 
Are  recording  the  earthquake  shocks, 

And  a  tidal  wave  has  swept  the  land 
From  Bridgeport  to  Windsor  Locks, 

While  here — two  thousand  miles  away — 
I  feel  the  trembler's  knocks. 

Then  tell  me,  ye  elements  convulsed ! 

Tell  me,  thou  waning  moon ! 
What  mean  these  fearsome  portents? 

Say !     Does  the  end  of  the  world  come  soon  ? 
And  the  earth  and  air  and  sky  reply : 
"  'T  is  the  twenty-fifth  of  June!" 

Ah !     Now  I  see  why  these  things  be  ; 

And  I  knowr,  full  well,  't  is  true 
That  the  ivied  walls  where  the  sparrow-  calls 

Are  held  by  a  motley  crew ; 
For  to-night  's  the  night  that  is  owned  outright 

By  the  class  of  eighty-two. 

Gathered  around  the  festive  board, 

They  come  from  over  the  land 
To  feel  the  joy  of  the  college  boy 

And  the  grasp  of  a  comrade's  hand, 
Ere  the  hour-glass  of  the  good  old  class 

Has  emptied  its  load  of  sand. 

No  doubt  the  place  has  greatly  changed — 
More  than  some  of  us  can  knowr — 

Since  we  sat  in  the  shade  the  elm-trees  made 
Five  and  twenty  years  ago ; 

And  modern  halls  now  rear  their  walls 
Where  stood  the  old  brick  row. 

The  college  fence,  where  we  loved  to  sit 
And  see  the  girls  trip  by, 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Where  jest  and  song,  when  days  grew  long, 

Made  the  happy  hours  fly, 
Has  passed  away  like  a  vanished  day, 

To  live  but  in  memory. 

Doubtless  the  songs  we  used  to  sing 

Are  old-fashioned  and  out  of  date 
And  would  be  "2,  3,"  if  they  reached  the  ears 

Of  the  undergraduate. 
For  is  n't  it  strange  how  all  things  change? 

Well,  cheer  up!     Such  is  Fate! 

But  I  fancy  the  years  have  left  their  mark 

On  other  than  fence  and  wall, 
And  some  will  come  with  whitened  locks, 

And  some  with  no  locks  at  all ; 
And  many  who  seem  in  the  summer  of  life, 

But  more  in  the  early  fall. 

Time  will  have  left  his  seal  on  all 

In  some  conspicuous  way. 
The  trousers  that  most  of  us  used  to  wear 

Will  never  meet  to-day; 
There  will  be  a  general  look,  I  fear, 

Of  October  instead  of  May. 

The  telltale  lines  about  the  mouth, 

The  touch  of  gray  in  the  hair, 
Will  indicate  we  are  headed  "south," 

While  a  crow's-foot,  here  and  there, 
Will  show  necessity,  alas ! 

For  general  repair. 

But  here  we  are  for  what  we  are 

In  several  degree : 
The  doctor,  lawyer,  merchant,  chief, 

The  Reverend  D.D. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

From  here,  from  there,  from  everywhere— 
A  noble  sight  to  see ! 


The  man  who  entered  politics 

And  glories  in  the  strife; 
The  man  who  does  not  care  to  "mix," 

But  leads  "the  simple  life"  ; 
The  banker  and  the  poet, 

The  surgeon  with  his  knife. 

You  've  had  your  dinners  table  d'hote, 
You  've  heard  that  stirring  call, 

The  baccalaureate  address 
By  Prex  in  Woolsey  Hall, 

Had  luncheon  at  the  Country  Club, 
And,  then,  that  is  n't  all. 

You  've  eaten  clams  and  chicken 

Where  the  clams  and  chicks  abound, 

To  wit,  at  the  Momauguin, 

Which  is  by  Long  Island  Sound ; 

You  've  seen  the  great  Yale-Harvard  game. 
In  fact,  you  've  looked  around. 

But  when  I  read  the  "program" 
(With  one  m,  sir,  s'il  vous  plait!) 

I  seem  to  miss  the  good  old  names 
That  marked  a  former  day. 

'T  is  all  quite  right,  but  here,  to  me, 
Two  thousand  miles  away, 

There  comes  a  sense  of  longing 
For  the  things  that  are  no  more, 

When,  arm  in  arm,  we  pushed  the  baize 
Of  Moriarty's  door. 

Those  scrambled  eggs  were  better 
Than  a  dinner  by  the  shore ! 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

1  seem  to  see  the  foaming  mugs, 

To  see  the  buxom  dame 
Who  often  stopped  her  knitting 

And  from  her  parlor  came 
To  chide  some  ribald  youth  whose  song 

Was  lost  to  sense  of  shame. 

The  cellar  where  Gus  Traeger  drew 

The  beer  so  highly  prized 
(When  "Ein,  noch  einmal,  zwei,  noch  einmal, 

Hyrusasized"), 
It  tasted  mighty  good  to  us 

Although  not  sterilized. 

I  see  the  homeward  sailing  crews — 

Beneath  the  arching  elms 
Which,  with  their  canopies  of  green, 

Shut  out  the  starry  realms — 
Making  short  tacks  with  schooner  loads 

That  will  not  mind  their  helms. 

Ah !    Those  were  happy  days  and  nights 

When,  with  digestion  placid, 
We  sipped  our  beer  or  strolled  at  dark 

The  streets  we  knew  were  lass-ied, 
And  recked  not  of  the  wrath  to  come, 

Nor  dreamed  of  uric  acid. 

But  stop !    There  's  one  name  that  I  know, 

One  that  I  can  recall : 
The  Wheeler  &  Wilson  Band — the  Pequot  House — 

I  see  it  all ! 
And  leading  the  "Blue  Danube  Waltz" 

That  seemed  to  start  the  ball  ; 

Guests  taking  hotfoot  to  their  rooms; 

Proprietor  in  funk. 
Then  things  grow  hazy,  indistinct — 

Yours  truly  in  his  bunk, 

C»81 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

While  bands  of  Indians  rip  and  roar — 
'Most  everybody  drunk! 


And  so  you  will  forgive  me 

If,  like  Riley's  man,  I  say 
1  'd  give  'most  anything  I  have 

"To  hear  the  Old  Band  play." 
Just  turn  'em  loose,  boys,  once, 

For  all  the  fellows  far  away ! 

I  don't  know  who  will  win  the  race 

Or  who  will  win  the  game; 
I  hope  when  '82  lines  up 

You  '11  cheer  the  Blue  to  fame. 
But  win  or  lose,  what  matters  it? 

We  're  Yale  men  just  the  same. 

Thrice  happy  those  whose  lots  were  cast 

To  be  here  at  this  meeting ; 
To  give  old  Yale  and  former  friends 

One  hearty,  rousing  greeting ; 
To  snatch  a  day  from  Father  Time — 

From  hours  so  swTiftly  fleeting. 

And  when  the  room  is  wreathed  in  smoke, 
And  wTine  and  wit  are  flowing; 

When  toasts  are  drunk,  and  songs  are  sung, 
And  things  get  really  going — 

The  time  the  morning  star  appears, 
And  early  cocks  are  crowing — 

When  you  have  pledged  each  other's  health 
And  pledged  the  dear  old  class, 

And  drunk  to  Yale,  the  "Girl  in  Blue" 
(Imperishable  lass), 

When  sentiment  asserts  itself, 
Let  each  man  fill  his  glass,

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

And,  if  he  feels  that  he  can  stand 

One  bumper  more  of  Mumm, 
Or,  if  he  does  not  like  that  brand, 

Choose  any  kind  of  rum 
That  long  experience  has  shown 

Is  suited  to  his  "turn"  — 

That  will  not  hurt  his  inner  man 

Or  put  him  on  the  bum — 
And  think  of  those  unfortunates 

(I  know,  alas!  of  some), 
And  pledge  that  most  unhappy  chap, 
"  The  man  who  could  n't  come." 

[Three  times  three  for  Ted  Holland.] 

Toast-master :  Ted  wanted  to  know  all  that  went  on 
here,  and  I  am  very  glad  to  be  able  to  report  to  him  that 
his  message  was  so  cordially  received. 

The  next  toast  is  "Rushes."  Unless  you  stop  to  think  of 
the  meaning  of  a  simple  word  like  that,  you  don't  realize 
how  many  significations  it  has.  You  go  back  into  ancient 
history  and  you  find  that,  if  it  were  not  for  the  rushes  of  the 
Nile,  little  Moses  would  not  have  found  shelter  in  the  pool, 
and  the  children  of  Israel  might  never  have  been  led  out  of 
bondage  in  Egypt.  Coming  along  down  the  avenue  of  time 
by  leaps  and  bounds  or  rushes,  we  know  that  the  first  thing 
that  threw  us  together  as  a  class,  and  threw  us  against  the 
class  of  '8 1,  was  the  rush  at  the  Grammar  School  lot.  Then, 
coming  into  college,  we  remember  some  of  the  rushes  which 
we  used  to  hear  the  other  fellow  make,  and  wished  we  could 
make  ourselves. 

The  man  who  is  going  to  respond  to  this  toast  is  well 
qualified  to  talk  about  that  kind  of  rushes.  But  the  par- 
ticular kind  of  rushes  that  we  had  in  mind  when  we  selected 
the  toast  was  the  rush  of  life  which  leads  to  success,  and  the 
man  who  is  going  to  respond  exemplifies  that  kind,  I  know. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

because,  only  a  few  years  after  he  got  out  of  college,  the 
people  in  Chicago,  where  he  lived  and  where  I  lived  for  a 
while,  were  talking  about  the  promising  young  lawyer,  and 
all  that  was  said  about  him  has  been  amply  fulfilled.  And 
Chicago,  as  you  know,  is  the  place  of  rush.  They  even  have 
a  street  named  Rush  Street  [laughter],  and,  without  more 
ado,  I  call  upon  the  man  who  knows  how  to  "get-there- 
quick"— Cyrus  Bentley.  [Loud  applause  and  three  times 
three  for  Cyrus  Bentley.] 

Bentley:  My  dear  Toast-master  and  Fellow  Class- 
mates :  The  chill  at  this  end  of  the  room  has  so  affected 
my  voice  that  I  am  not  sure  that  I  can  occupy  the  whole  of 
the  hour  and  a  half  which  has  been  assigned  to  me;  but  if 
you  will  all  pay  attention  and  shut  the  windows,  I  will  do 
the  best  I  can,  and  if  Jim  Rice  is  on  my  side,  who  can  be 
against  me? 

I  got  a  little  agreeable  information  out  of  this  program 
to-night.  I  was  surprised  when,  on  taking  up  the  card,  I 
saw  that  I  was  to  respond  to  "Rushes,"  because  I  did  not 
believe  you  would  remember  how  I  invariably  took  the  brunt 
of  the  physical  contests  that  we  had  with  '81  and  '83.  It  is 
pleasant,  indeed,  to  me  to  know  that  you  have  not  forgotten 
my  physical  prowess.  I  must  say,  though,  that  I  am  inclined 
to  criticize  the  sentiment  which  goes  with  the  toast:  "He  was 
bound  to  follow  the  suit."  As  I  remember  those  occasions, 
I  never  tried  to  follow  the  suit,  but  was  quite  content  to 
save  the  z//7^rclothes. 

The  rushes  which  we  fought  out  years  ago,  so  far  as  I 
recall  them  now,  consisted  of  a  delirium  of  noise  and  pro- 
fanity, and  a  good  many  hard  knocks.  You  played  your 
part  well,  holding  your  breath  and  butting  in  with  lowered 
head.  As  the  years  have  passed,  the  elements,  the  distinc- 
tive characteristics,  which  took  us  into  the  rushes  and  kept 
us  hard  at  work  in  them  have  remained  for  us,  though  the 
obstacles  in  our  way  are  no  longer  human.     The  days  of 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

physical  strife  for  grown  men  are  past,  but  obstacles  there 
have  been  and  are,  many  and  serious.  It  is  fine  to  think 
that  so  many  of  us,  after  twenty-live  years  of  struggle 
against  difficulties  of  one  kind  and  another,  are  here  to- 
night to  recall  the  pleasant,  if  strenuous,  days  of  the  past, 
and  to  speak  of  the  pleasant  days  of  the  present.  [Ap- 
plause.] I  don't  know  any  better  work  that  has  been  done, 
for  which  our  college  rushes  were  an  education,  than  the 
work  which  has  its  climax  in  our  feast  to-night.  I  am  sure 
there  were  innumerable  obstacles,  harder  to  overcome  than 
the  freshmen  of  '83,  or  the  sophomores  of  '81,  which  our 
committee  have  fought  their  way  through,  and  we  all  must 
recognize  their  services  to  the  class,  the  indomitable  charac- 
teristics they  have  displayed,  and  the  memorable  experience 
we  owe  to  them.     [Applause.] 

What  is  it  that  gives  the  peculiar  charm  and  interest  to 
such  an  occasion  as  this?  Of  course,  foremost  in  all  our 
minds  is  the  thought  that  it  is  enough  to  meet  together  and 
exchange  reminiscences,  to  look  at  the  pictures  which  our 
thoughtful  toast-master  has  provided  for  us,  and  to  consider 
the  ways  of  life  which  the  members  of  our  class  have  fol- 
lowed. But  there  is  something  less  tangible  than  that,  not 
better  than  that,  nor  more  than  that,  but  different.  The 
years  which  we  spent  together  here  at  Xew  Haven  were  the 
preliminary  years  of  youth.  Life  presented  to  us  then  no 
problems  which  we  feared  to  face.  Our  ideals  were  un- 
tarnished, nor  had  they  been  proven  impracticable.  The 
struggles  before  us  we  were  willing  and  perhaps  even  anx- 
ious to  encounter;  and  so  the  associations  of  this  occasion 
revive  in  us  that  spirit  of  youth  which  is  the  most  precious 
possession  of  life,  to  which  we  should  hold  fast  until  the  end. 
Such  a  tie,  sentimental  and  subtle  — perhaps  indefinable  — a 
real  tie,  nevertheless,  binds  us  together.  May  these  occa- 
sions be  repeated  for  many  years,  for  many  years  to  come. 
In  truth,  I  do  believe  that  we  shall  keep  our  youth  just  in  pro- 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

portion  as  we  look  forward  to,  and  as  we  participate  in, 
them.  I  remember  I  heard,  when  we  came  back  for  our 
twentieth  reunion,  that  the  twenty-fifth  was  the  end,  that  men 
did  not  return  very  much  after  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary. 
I  trust  that  will  not  be  true  of  us,  and  that  from  this  night 
we  shall  be  planning  for  the  next  reunion,  though  they  must 
not  be  too  frequent,  for  the  edge  of  them  would  be  dulled 
if  they  were  repeated  very  year.  Through  the  five-year  in- 
tervals to  look  forward  to  them  and  to  look  backward  to 
them,  and  to  think  of  all  that  they  mean,  and  of  the  expe- 
riences that  they  revive,  will  surely  make  more  efficient  our 
work  in  the  world,  and  strengthen  our  hope  for  that  which 
is  to  come.     [Applause.] 

We  have  lived  out  of  college  twenty-five  years.  That  is 
more  than  half  of  the  average  life  of  the  college  graduate, 
but  I  will  not  think  that  much  of  sunlight  does  not  remain. 
Let  us  sing  processionals  as  long  as  Chester  and  Archie  will 
write  us  the  words,  leaving  the  inevitable  recessional  to  take 
care  of  itself.     [Applause.] 

One  bright  afternoon  not  many  weeks  ago  I  went  to  the 
church  at  St.  Denis,  the  sepulcher  of  French  royalty,  where 
marble  tombs  guard  the  anointed  dust  of  Louis  the  Saint  and 
his  successors  of  the  house  of  France,  tenants  of  the  kingly 
office.  Apart  from  the  rest,  deeply  hidden  in  the  shadows  of 
the  vault  beneath  the  altar,  lie  Louis  the  Martyr  and  his 
most  unhappy  queen.  As  I  stood  beside  their  white  stone 
coffins,  rather  inclined  to  moralize  upon  the  crumbling  vanity 
of  human  grandeur  and  ambition,  near-by  chimes  struck  out 
upon  the  hour  that  cheerful  tune  to  which  we  have,  in  days 
gone  by,  beneath  the  elms,  so  often  sung: 

"Brothers,  the  day  is  ended, 
Lost  in  the  surge  of  time." 

It  seemed  a  message  from  the  sunlit  world  without  to 
those  cold  ashes  locked  in  their  funereal  cells.     1  waited  and 

t'33] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

listened,  held  bv  the  associations  of  the  familiar  melody, 
carried  in  imagination  to  our  approaching  class  reunion; 
and  my  thoughts  were  gloomy  as  I  reflected  that  soon  enough 
that  message  of  the  bells  would  sound  for  each  of  us.  But 
when,  turning  away  from  the  sanctuary  of  the  dead,  I  re- 
visited the  outer  air,  instinct  with  life  and  redolent  of  spring, 
I  saw  what  we  all  may  see  for  ourselves  even  on  this  twenty- 
fifth  anniversary;  I  saw  that  the  sun  was  still  shining;  the 
shadows  indeed  were  beginning  to  lengthen,  but  hours  of 
davlight  yet  remained.     [Long-continued  applause.] 

Toast-master :  The  next  toast  is  "Skins  and  Cribs,"  familiar 
to  you  all.  The  man  who  is  to  respond  is  peculiarly  fitted 
bv  reason  of  the  fact  that  he  is  a  dermatologist  and  a  gyne- 
cologist at  times.  [Laughter.]  He  has  attained  a  position 
out  West  that  reflects  honor  upon  him.  He  is  not  only  a 
practitioner,  but  a  teacher  and  editor,  and  if  you  knew 
all  about  the  experience  he  had  when  he  laid  low  several 
''thugs''  who  attacked  him  one  night,  you  might  say  that  he 
Avas  an  adventurer.  He  certainly  had  an  adventure  which 
was  most  remarkable.  I  won't  dilate  upon  that  fact,  but  he 
is  qualified  to  talk  about  this  toast,  though  not  in  the  signi- 
ficance which  in  part  it  had  to  most  of  us  when  we  were 
undergraduates.  He  can  put  any  interpretation  upon  it 
that  he  wishes.  I  ask  Foster  to  speak  to  you  upon  Skins  and 
Cribs.     [Applause.] 

Foster:  Mr.  Toast-master  and  Classmates  and 
dear  Friends  :  In  the  first  place,  I  want  to  say,  God  bless 
you  all !  The  toast-master  has  assigned  me  to  a  toast  which 
he  knew  I  very  well  knew  I  did  n't  know  anything  about.  I 
saw  it  for  the  first  time  this  evening  when  I  read  the  pro- 
gram, and  consequently  I  am  going  to  ignore  it  entirely. 

Before  I  say  a  word — and  I  shall  make  mv  message  to 
you  very  brief— I  want  to  express  again,  for  the  second  time 
to-day,  my  own  appreciation  and  gratitude  to  those  who 
have  prepared  for  us  this  beautiful  hospitality  which  we 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

have  all  enjoyed  for  these  several  days.  I  have  been  back 
to  very  few  of  these  meetings,  and  I  had  no  idea  of  what 
was  going  to  greet  me  when  I  reached  Xew  Haven.  I  had 
read  something  about  a  club-house  and  a  dormitory,  but  I 
looked  forward  to  a  sort  of  crowded,  uncomfortable  time, 
the  discomfort  of  which  I  was  quite  willing  to  undergo  for 
the  pleasure  it  would  give  me,  but  I  had  no  idea  I  was  going 
to  be  surrounded  by  all  the  comforts  and  luxuries  I  could 
find  at  home.  All  these  things  have  been  prepared  for  us 
by  our  committee,  who  have  striven  so  hard  for  our  plea- 
sure and  comfort.  Again  I  want  to  thank  them,  and  I  think 
I  speak  for  all  of  you  when  I  say  that  they  deserve  the 
thanks  and  credit  of  every  one  of  us.  [Applause  and  motion 
seconded.] 

Gentlemen,  I  have  lived  for  twenty-five  years  a  long  ways 
from  all  of  you.  It  has  not  been  my  privilege  to  come  to 
many  of  our  meetings.  This  is  the  third  meeting  I  think  I 
have  attended  of  the  class.  I  came  to  the  triennial,  and  I 
was  here  ten  years  ago.  I  have  been  with  you,  however,  in 
spirit  at  every  meeting.  I  have  received  the  invitations,  and 
I  have,  I  think,  almost  always  responded  to  them,  but,  unfor- 
tunately, it  has  not  been  my  fortune  to  attend  the  meetings. 
I  have  regretted  it,  and  I  know  what  I  have  missed.  I  hare, 
however,  kept  in  touch,  so  far  as  I  could,  with  the  members 
of  the  class  of  '82.  I  have  read  every  line  that  I  have  seen 
printed  in  our  class  records,  and  I  have  read  and  been  inter- 
ested in  everything  that  every  man  of  '82  has  done,  and 
while,  from  certain  points  of  view,  perhaps  we  have  not 
produced  any  men  who  have  done  great  work  such  as  would 
entitle  them  to  a  niche  in  the  Hall  of  Fame,  we  have,  I  be- 
lieve, been  successful  in  life.  As  I  look  around  me  to-night 
and  see  our  classmates  after  twenty-five  years  (seventy-five 
per  cent.,  I  think,  of  the  living  class  of  '82  are  here  to- 
night), the  class  of  '82  has  taken  as  high  a  rank  as  any  class 
that  has  ever  graduated  from  Yale  College  and  has  met 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

with  as  much  success  in  life.  What  is  success  in  life?  It  is 
measured,  of  course,  by  different  standards,  but,  according 
to  my  code  of  ethics,  which  is  a  very  simple  one,  a  man  is  suc- 
cessful who  has  a  happy  family  life,  who  keeps  himself  in  good 
health,  keeps  his  bills  paid,  and  who  keeps  his  reputation  clean. 
[Applause.]  There  are  men  who  acquire  wealth,  some  of 
them  honestly,  and  some  of  them  by  other  means,  but  I  don't 
look  upon  wealth  as  a  measure  of  success.  I  look  around 
me  at  a  prosperous,  healthy,  fine  set  of  fellows  who  were 
my  classmates,  and  whom  I  am  proud  to  have  been  the 
classmate  of,  and  every  one  of  whom  I  believe  is  my  friend 
to-dav.  I  assure  you,  gentlemen,  that  if  any  one  of  you  ever 
comes  into  the  Northwest  where  I  live  —  and  I  am  the  only 
'82  man  in  the  State  of  Minnesota  (Kittredge  is  a  few 
miles  from  the  State  of  Minnesota) — I  assure  you,  gentle- 
men, that  if  any  of  you  ever  come  to  the  State  of  Minne- 
sota, I  will  throw  the  gates  wide  open  and  give  you  a  royal 
hospitality.     [Applause.] 

You  have  been,  gentlemen,  I  think,  rather  surfeited  with 
verses  to-night,  but  in  a  sentimental  moment  (and  I  some- 
times still  have  them)  I  wrote  a  few  lines  which  I  wanted  to 
dedicate  to  the  class  of  '82.  They  are  very  brief,  and,  with 
your  permission,  I  will  read  them.  [Applause  and  three 
times  three  for  Burnside  Foster.] 

AFTER  TWENTY-FIVE  YEARS 

Dear  Mother  Yale,  who  made  us  what  we  are. 

To  whom  as  boys  we  came,  with  whom  to  manhood  grew, 

Again  we  come  with  greetings  from  afar 

To  offer  thee  that  reverence  which  is  thy  due. 

The  years  have  flown  since  on  that  day  in  June 

We  stepped  from  thy  gates,  regretfully  but  proud ; 

The  day  of  parting  had  come  all  too  soon. 
But  each  was  eager  for  life's  busy  crowd. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Armed  with  thy  strength,  thy  courage,  and  thy  love, 
We  started  forth,  each  on  our  several  ways. 

Bright  was  the  day,  and  clear  the  skies  above, 
The  path  looked  easy  to  our  youthful  gaze. 

Within  our  veins  there  beat  the  pulse  of  Yale, 

Within  each  heart  was  something  that  Yale  had  given, 

Something  which  said  to  each,  "You  cannot  fail," 

And,  with  that  something,  toward  our  goals  we  'vc  striven. 

What  is  that  gift  which  every  son  of  Yale 

Bears  with  him  when  he  leaves  her  halls? 
What  is  that  talisman  which  tempers  every  gale 

Alike  to  him  who  conquers  or  who  falls? 

My  classmates,  friends,  and  fellow  sons  of  Yale, 
Answer  yourselves,  what  is  the  best  of  gifts? 

In  your  life's  battle  what  does  most  avail 

To  help  you  win?    What  most  your  burdens  lifts? 

It  is  a  feeling  words  cannot  define, 

It  is  a  spirit  common  to  us  all, 
Which  Yale  has  breathed  into  your  lives  and  mine, 

WThich  never  sleeps,  which  hears  Yale's  every  call. 

That  spirit  makes  us  sure  to  do  our  part, 

To  do  our  best,  not  for  ourselves  alone, 
For  where  there  beats  the  true  Yale  heart 

There  stands  a  man  to  be  depended  on. 

The  sons  of  Yale,  a  mighty,  loyal  band, 

Loyal  to  selves,  to  country,  and  to  Yale, 
Are  found  wherever  in  this  mighty  land 

Are  needed  strength  and  courage  to  prevail. 

So  we  come  back  year  after  year 

To  meet  and  greet  each  other, 
To  sing  Yale's  songs  and  cheer  Yale's  cheer, 

And  to  honor  our  common  Mother. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Few  years  at  best  remain  to  us 

Ere  we  go,  when  or  whither 
No  man  can  tell,  no  man  can  guess, 

But  Yale  shall  live  forever ! 

So  let  us  make  the  best  of  life, 

As  long  as  life  shall  last, 
And  when  we  cease  our  toil  and  strife, 

When  the  tide  is  ebbing  fast — 

Then  lift  the  cup,  let  no  man  fail, 

Good  friends  of  Eighty-two; 
Let  's  drink  one  final  toast  to  Yale — 

God  bless  the  dear  old  Blue ! 

[Long-continued  applause.] 

Toast-master:  I  should  have  added  to  my  characteriza- 
tion of  the  last  speaker  the  words  poet  and  all-round  spell- 
binder.    [Laughter.] 

The  next  toast  will  be  responded  to  by  another  one  of 
the  representatives  of  the  pedagogic  profession,  who  has 
been  charged  with  a  great  responsibility  in  the  rearing  of 
boys  during  those  ages  when  they  are  most  susceptible  to 
influences,  good  or  bad,  and  I  know  that  the  men  who  have 
boys  appreciate  that  it  is  a  great  thing  to  have  schools  at  the 
head  of  which  are  men  of  sterling  character,  of  such  true 
principles  that  you  are  willing  to  take  your  boys  from  your 
families  and  your  homes  and  intrust  them  to  them.  [Ap- 
plause.] The  next  speaker  has  been  at  the  head  of  a  very 
important  preparatory  educational  institution  since  1890; 
seventeen  years  he  has  occupied  that  position  and  fulfilled 
its  responsibility,  and  in  that  time  has  sent  to  Yale  many 
boys  who  have  reflected  credit  upon  his  institution  and  upon 
those  principles  which  he  instilled  into  them.  I  will  ask 
Pratt  to  speak  upon  "Marks  and  Remarks."  [Applause.] 
Pratt:    Mr.  Toast-master  and  Fellow  Classmates, 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

whom  I  have  met  with  joy  and  pleasure  to  which  it  is  im- 
possible to  give  expression:  I  want  to  reiterate  the  thanks, 
the  personal  thanks  which  I  feel  to  the  committee  for  the 
royal  good  time  and  the  excellence  of  their  preparation. 

When  I  received  an  imitation  from  the  committee  to  be 
on  the  program  to-night,  I  rubbed  my  eyes  and  looked  at 
the  letter  again  to  see  if  there  had  been  some  mistake  in  the 
name : 

"For  I  have  neither  wit,  nor  words,  nor  worth, 
Action,  nor  utterance,  nor  the  power  of  speech." 

In  fact,  when  I  scanned  the  list  of  my  classmates  endowed 
with  wit  and  humor,  and  ability  to  make  an  after-dinner 
speech,  I  felt  that  the  committee,  having  tried  elsewhere, 
must  have  been  in  the  predicament  of  Charlie  Huggins,  and 
I  in  the  situation  of  Mayme,  who  said:  "Charlie  Huggins 
made  desperate  love  to  me  last  night."  "Ah,"  replied 
Edyth,  "I  am  not  at  all  surprised.  He  has  been  desperate 
ever  since  I  refused  him."     [Laughter.] 

The  honor,  however,  was  too  tempting  to  admit  a  re- 
fusal, and  I  gladly  embrace  the  opportunity  to  say  some- 
thing to  those  I  have  seen,  most  not  at  all,  some  only  once 
or  twice  in  a  quarter  of  a  century. 

Doubtless  some  word  of  the  growth  and  development  of 
old  Yale,  now  new  Yale,  and  a  discussion  of  her  problems 
and  needs,  and  how  we  are  to  help  her,  would  be  in  order. 
This  I  will  leave  to  others  better  versed  in  the  subject, 
though  I  might  remark,  in  passing,  that,  when  I  read  of  the 
attitude  of  the  university  in  regard  to  the  gift  of  the  Stan- 
dard Oil  magnate,  I  was  reminded  of  the  story  of  the  darky 
preacher's  discourse  on  tainted  money,  which  concluded 
somewhat  as  follows : 

"Brethren  and  sisterens,  w'en  yo'  stops  ter  kinsider  de  mil- 
lions and  millions  and  millions  dis  yhere  man  owns,  and  in- 
spect dese  yhere  millions  'longside  his  gifts,  de  inspection

am  powerful  queer.  Now  hit  ain't  fo'  me  to  enquire  whar 
de  money  comes  from  dat  each  member  of  my  flock  draps  in 
de  plate,  en  I  don't  'zackly  see  why  fo'  my  colleagues  up 
North  ask  questions— de  onliest  taint  I  bin  able  ter  diskiver 
'bout  dis  yhere  tainted  money  is  'tain't  'nuff."  [Loud  laugh- 
ter and  applause.] 

Leaving  the  consideration  of  larger  questions,  my  thought 
turned  to  a  more  personal  side  of  our  gathering,  and  I  re- 
called some  of  the  stories  extant  concerning  a  few  of  our 
number,  for  the  authenticity  of  which,  however,  I  will  not 
vouch.  When  I  remember  the  ability  of  all  the  men  in  '82, 
not  only  to  express  themselves,  but  to  discriminate  in  the 
choice  of  a  wife,  adhering  to  the  doctrine  of  evolution,  and 
the  development  and  improvement  of  the  race,  I  cannot  be- 
lieve that  one  of  them,  when  asked  about  his  daughter: 
"What  did  you  think  of  your  daughter's  graduation  essay?" 
replied:  "I  did  n't  permit  myself  to  think  about  it.  I  simply 
did  my  duty  and  admired  it." 

Kittredge  has  been  our  most  successful  standard-bearer 
in  politics,  and  it  is  said  that,  not  being  entirely  on  the  side 
of  the  administration,  he  loves  to  repeat  a  conversation  he 
overheard  between  two  Irishmen  who  met  after  a  period  of 
absence.  After  the  first  greeting  one  asked:  uHov  yez 
heard  the  news?"  "Naw,"  the  other  said.  "What  news?" 
"The  Pope  is  dead."  "Which  wan?  Toledo  Pope?" 
"Naw.  The  real  Pope;  the  Pope  of  Rome."  "Well,  now, 
that  's  too  bad,  too  bad!  I  hope  Misther  Roosevelt  won't 
app'int  a  Protesthant  in  his  place." 

We  teachers,  though  set  down  as  dictatorial  members  of 
the  community,  sometimes  get  our  deserts.  It  is  said  that 
one  of  our  number,  who  teaches  in  a  famous  school  in  New 
England,  on  seeing  one  of  the  small  boys  in  the  study  hall 
with  very  dirty  hands,  said  to  him:  "Jamie,  I  wish  you 
would  not  come  to  the  hall  with  your  hands  soiled  that  way. 
What  would  you  say  if  I  came  here  with  soiled  hands?" 

[HO] 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

"I  would  n't  say  anything,1'  was  the  prompt  reply.  k'l  \1 
be  too  polite."     [Laughter.] 

I  am  going  to  tell  you  something  on  Wight,  who  lived  for 
a  while  in  Wisconsin,  and  possibly  you  know  that  in  Wiscon- 
sin we  have  a  rather  large  foreign  element.  It  was  said  that 
when  he  was  visited  by  some  friends  on  one  occasion  he  was 
rather  long  coming  into  the  reception-room.  "I  'm  sorry  to 
have  kept  you  waiting,"  he  remarked,  as  he  entered,  "but 
I  have  just  had  to  perform  a  wooden  wedding  in  the 
church."  "What !"  said  one  of  his  visitors.  "I  never  heard 
of  such  a  thing.  What  kind  of  ceremony  was  it?"  "Oh," 
answered  the  clergyman,  with  a  twinkle  in  his  eye,  "it  was 
the  marriage  of  a  couple  of  Poles."     [Laughter.] 

The  lawyers  must  not  be  neglected  in  this  recital  of  anec- 
dotes. Yet  I  wonder  if  it  was  any  of  the  class  of  '82  that 
was  badgering  an  unfortunate  witness  in  cross-examination. 
In  reply  to  one  of  the  questions  the  victim  began:  "I 
think—"  "We  don't  want  you  to  think,"  interrupted  the 
lawyer.  "We  want  your  testimony."  "Unfortunately,  then," 
he  retorted,  "I  am  unable  to  answer;  for  in  giving  testimony, 
not  being  a  lawyer,  I  am  obliged  to  think." 

Another,  though  I  have  it  from  good  authority,  I  am  in- 
clined to  doubt.  Soon  after  our  graduation,  when  the  pres- 
ent distinguished  array  of  legal  talent  had  yet  its  reputation 
to  make,  and  was  still  ready  to  accept  some  humble  em- 
ployment at  the  bar,  a  prisoner  was  brought  before  the  bar 
in  the  criminal  court,  but  was  not  represented  by  a  lawyer. 
"Where  is  your  lawyer?"  inquired  the  judge  who  presided. 
"I  have  none,"  responded  the  prisoner.  "Why  have  n't 
you?"  "Have  n't  any  money  to  pay  a  lawyer,"  he  replied. 
"Do  you  want  a  lawyer?"  asked  the  judge.  "Yes,  your 
honor."  "There  are  Walter  Badger  and  Hercules  Bates 
and  Albert  Atterbury,"  said  the  judge,  pointing  to  a  group 
of  young  attorneys  who  were  about  the  court,  waiting  for 
something  to  turn  up,  "and  Cy  Bentley  is  out  in  the  corridor." 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

The  prisoner  eyed  the  budding  attorneys  in  the  court- 
room, and  after  a  critical  survey  stroked  his  chin  and  said: 
"Well,  I  guess  I  will  take  Mr.  Bentley."  [Loud  bursts  of 
laughter.] 

A  Voice:  As  long  as  he  did  n't  take  John  Kellogg,  he 
was  all  right.     [Laughter.] 

A  Voice:  He  would  have  got  six  months  if  he  had. 
[Renewed  laughter  and  cries  of  "That  's  right."] 

Prat l:  Cragin  was  one  of  us  grinds  in  college.  You  all 
remember  that  as  long  as  Harry  Piatt  haunted  the  Elysian 
Fields  of  the  first  division,  having  an  eye  to  Cragin's  inter- 
ests, he  always  assisted,  with  an  imaginary  crank,  the  halt- 
ing efforts  of  Cragin,  weighed  down  with  information,  to 
unburden  his  knowledge  upon  the  professor.  In  spite  of 
Cragin's  high-stand  proclivities,  and  in  defiance  of  all  well- 
established  rules  in  regard  to  the  etiquette  of  high-stand 
men  after  college  days,  he  has  amounted  to  something,  is 
a  professional  and  social  success,  and  has  a  dry  humor  of  his 
own.  It  is  related  of  him  that  a  charming  New  York  hostess 
—  one  of  the  four  hundred,  for  aught  I  know — remarked 
one  evening  to  him :  "I  am  sorry,  doctor,  you  were  not  able 
to  attend  my  supper  last  night ;  it  would  have  done  you  good 
to  be  there."  "It  has  already  done  me  good,  madam,"  he 
replied;  "I  have  just  prescribed  for  three  of  the  guests." 
[Laughter.] 

On  another  occasion  he  was  in  the  hospital  operating  upon 
a  man  for  appendicitis.  When  the  man  came  to  (as  they 
sometimes  do),  he  said:  "Why,  it  seems  to  me,  doctor,  I 
have  seen  you  before."  The  doctor  said:  "Well,  I  don't 
know  but  you  have."  Said  the  patient:  "You  remember  a 
man  who  was  hurt  in  an  accident  a  while  ago  and  you  ampu- 
tated my  right  forefinger?"  The  doctor  said:  "Why,  yes, 
I  do  remember  that."  Said  he:  "You  ought  to  be  satisfied 
now;  you  took  my  index  then,  and  now  you  have  got  my  ap- 
pendix."    [Laughter.] 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

As  I  look  about  on  your  faces  to-night,  it  seems  scarcely 
possible  that  twenty-five  years  have  elapsed  since  we  armed 
ourselves  with  sheepskins  and  proudly  marched  forth  to 
battle  with  the  world.  Many  of  you  seem  to  have  drunk  of 
the  fountain  of  perpetual  youth.  There  is  Billie  Parsons, 
the  proud  father  of  five  promising  children.  He  does  n't 
look  a  day  older  than  he  did  when  he  stood  by  my  side  on 
the  platform  at  Center  Church,  while  President  Porter 
bombarded  us  with  a  volley  of  Latin,  and  Professor  (now 
President)  Northrop  kindly  instructed  us  sot  to  -core,  in 
English,  when  to  make  our  bow  and  disappear  in  the  crowd. 
I  can  readily  believe  what  Mel  Clement  told  about  Billie, 
not  only  because  Mel  was  superintendent  at  Bethany  Sun- 
day School,  and,  having  been  a  teacher  there  myself,  I  am 
bound  to  believe  him,  but  because  Billie's  whole  appearance 
bears  it  out. 

It  seems  that  in  1904  Billie  took  his  wTife  and  boys  to  Eu- 
rope, where  he  left  them,  returning  unattended.  On  the 
wray  back  he  found  on  the  steamer  a  charming  young  lady, 
to  whom,  true  to  the  traditions  of  his  class,  he  proceeded  to 
make  himself  agreeable.  As  the  liner  was  entering  New 
York  Harbor,  the  young  lady  was  heard  to  inquire  of  an- 
other Yale  man:  "Did  Mr.  Parsons  graduate  in  1900  or 
1 901?" 

So  it  is  with  many  another.  Time  has  dealt  gently  with 
us.  The  struggle  with  the  world  has  developed  character 
and  strength  in  our  countenances,  but  the  youthful  spirit 
shines  there  triumphant  over  care  and  responsibility  and 
life's  work.  We  greet  each  other  with  friendly  handshake 
and  recognize  the  fruition  of  the  promise  of  our  college 
days.  Each  has  made  for  himself  a  place  in  his  community, 
and  is  giving  of  himself  to  those  about  him.  Various  de- 
grees of  worldly  success  have  attended  us,  but  our  aim  is  still 
faithfully  and  earnestly  to  do  the  work  our  hands  find  to 
do.     And  here  we  meet,  while  ours  is  yet  the  fighting  line, 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

to  gain  the  cheer  that  comes  from  mutual  greeting,  to  hear 
of  one  another's  welfare,  and  to  renew  the  friendship  of 
college  days. 

And  yet,  were  we  to  satisfy  ourselves  with  mutual  well- 
wishing,  the  reminiscences  of  bygone  days,  and  the  story  of 
our  careers,  the  occasion  would  be  incomplete  to  me.  There 
is  a  deeper  chord  to  strike.  College  days  may  have  left 
us  careless  boys,  but  a  quarter-century  has  not  passed  with- 
out many  an  experience  to  make  us  think.  I,  for  one,  have 
been  brought  face  to  face  with  fundamental  questions : 
Whence  came  our  life  and  whither  does  it  tend?  Is  there  a 
God?  What  is  all  this  life  for?  Does  death  end  all?  And 
as  they  have  rung  in  my  ears,  there  have  come  before  me 
the  faces  of  the  strong  and  gentle  Campbell;  the  bright  and 
promising  Curtis;  of  Whitney  with  his  sweet  and  lovable 
disposition;  of  Hand,  transparent  in  his  goodness  and  sin- 
cerity, and  the  others  whose  faces  we  miss  here  and  whom 
we  shall  no  more  see  on  earth.  And  I  have  asked  myself: 
"Can  it  be  that  their  thought  was  the  vibration  of  matter? 
that  their  noble  intellectual  and  spiritual  qualities  had  no 
foundation  but  in  atoms  and  molecules,  or,  as  we  must  say 
•to-day,  in  electrons?  Is  there  no  life  apart  from  this  mortal 
body,  and  must  we  look  to  have  thought  and  hope  and  faith 
and  love  extinguished  when  we  cease  to  breathe?"  No, 
classmates,  I  cannot  believe  it,  and  I  am  not  voicing  now 
merely  the  teachings  of  my  youth.  Such  vital  questions  one 
must  settle  for  himself,  and  had  my  twenty-five  years 
brought  me  nothing  but  the  conviction  that  the  unseen  and 
spiritual  is  the  real  and  everlasting  world,  they  would  be 
well-spent  years. 

The  knowledge  of  the  reality  of  goodness  and  truth  and 
justice,  and  of  their  eternal  and  omnipotent  quality,  makes 
the  difficulties  of  life  easier  to  surmount,  gives  hope  for  de- 
spair, supplants  grief  with  joy,  death  with  life,  and  bathes  the 
heart  and  thought  in  the  true  fountain  of  perpetual  youth. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

And  so,  as  I  look  into  your  faces  to-night,  I  think  I  read 
there  the  message  that  to  one  and  another  has  come  the 
answer  somewhat  as  it  has  come  to  me.  With  you  I  rejoice 
that  you  have  found  the  inspiration  to  hopeful  effort.  What 
wonder  that  over  you,  who,  consciously  or  unconsciously, 
cherish  such  convictions,  the  years  pass  lightly,  and  that 
upon  you  time  fails  to  set  his  seal?     [Prolonged  applause.] 

Foster:  Mr.  Toast-master,  may  I  say  one  word?  Pratt 
has  called  a  name  to-night  which  has  not  been  spoken  before 
at  this  meeting.  I  think  we  all  remember  old  Jim  Camp- 
bell, one  of  the  most  lovable,  noble,  generous  men  that  the 
class  of  '82  ever  knew.  I  don't  see  very  much  to  drink 
around  here,  but  I  should  like  to  propose  that  we  all  rise, 
and  those  of  us  who  can  find  anything  to  drink,  drink  a 
silent  toast  to  dear  old  Jim  Campbell. 

Toast-master:  Now,  boys,  the  next  toast,  if  you  have 
examined  the  list,  being  "Examinations,"  although  you  must 
regret  the  absence  of  Asa  French,  you  may  not  be  averse  to 
having  this  dispensed  with.  I  am  conscious  of  the  fact  that 
I  have  occupied  the  lime-light  for  an  undue  portion  of  the 
evening.  [Cries  of  "No!"]  That  was  inevitable  from  the 
character  of  the  entertainment.  I  am  reminded  of  the  man 
who  said  to  the  little  boy:  "Willie,  I  hear  your  father  is 
dead;  what  were  his  last  words?"  "He  did  n't  have  no 
last  words;  mother  was  with  him  to  the  last."  [Laugh- 
ter.] I  am  afraid  I  have  placed  myself  in  the  position  of 
mother. 

Now,  boys,  I  want  to  say  to  you  that  this  has  been  the 
most  pleasant  thing  that  I  ever  had  to  do  in  connection  with 
'82,  and  I  thank  you  from  the  bottom  of  my  heart  for  the 
attention  that  you  have  given,  and  your  appreciation  of  the 
entertainment  which  has  been  prepared  by  the  committee, 
of  which  I  am  only  one.  I  hope  that  this  occasion  will  be 
an  inspiration  to  you  to  come  back  to  our  next  anniversary 
in  even  larger  numbers.

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

The  program  is  now  ended.  I  think  there  is  nothing 
further  for  us  to  do.  The  vice-president  has  appointed  some 
committees,  and  I  believe  he  has  decided  to  announce  those 
at  the  dinner  to-morrow  night.     I  thank  you  very  much. 

John  Kellogg  then  made  the  following  announcement : 

In  regard  to  the  boat  race  and  the  tickets,  those 
of  you  who  have  n't  your  tickets  can  get  them  from  me 
to-morrow  morning.  Those  who  have  their  tickets  will  know 
that  the  train  leaves  Union  Station  at  n  :io  on  Thursday 
morning,  I  presume  in  front.  The  train  is  made  up  of 
parlor-cars  and  day-coaches.  Our  parlor-car  will  be  the  last 
parlor-car  of  the  parlor-cars  on  the  train,  and  the  day-coach 
will  be  immediately  next  to  it.  The  coach  is  the  first  of  the 
day-coaches,  and  the  parlor-car  the  last  of  the  parlor-cars. 
They  will  also  have  big  labels  on  each  for  those  of  you  who 
can  read:  "Class  of  '82."  Those  who  cannot  read  will 
know  that  it  is  the  last  parlor-car.  The  parlor-car  will  be 
a  buffet-car  and  will  carry  her  coterie  of  servants  with  it, 
and  also  a  hired  man,  and  also  a  porter  furnished  by  the 
company,  together  with  a  guard  selected  to  look  after  Harry 
Piatt  and  those  fellows  who  need  free  Scotches  and  beer  all 
the  time.  That  car  will  hold  thirty-six,  and  we  will  put  in 
a  number  of  camp-chairs  to  make  it  hold  as  many  as  can  get 
into  it.  I  presume  the  thing  we  ought  to  do  will  be  to  have 
the  ladies  take  that  car,  so  far  as  it  will  accommodate  them, 
and  the  rest  of  us  will  take  the  day-coach.     [Applause.] 

Badger:  Mr.  Toast-master,  may  I  say  one  word  only? 
You  showed  a  picture  of  the  ball  nine  of  '82  to-night.  The 
man  who  was  the  life  of  that  nine  did  not  show  in  the  photo- 
graph, the  man  who  played  in  every  game  but  one  did  not 
show;  and  in  every  game  we  played,  the  luck  of  that  man, 
our  classmate,  was  proverbial,  and  when  he  tossed  the  coin, 
he  won,  and  we  took  our  choice,  except  when  we  went  to 
Brown  and  played  there,  the  captain  of  the  nine  said:  "No. 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

Richardson  can't  toss  the  coin."  At  every  meeting  of  '82 
which  we  have  had  George  Richardson  has  been  the  life  of 
the  class.  He  comes  from  my  end  of  the  line.  One  of  the 
best  men  that  ever  lived  was  George  Richardson,  and  I 
don't  want  this  meeting  to  adjourn  to-night  without  drinking 
a  silent  toast  to  that  prince  of  good  fellows,  one  of  the  best 
men,  one  of  the  smartest,  one  of  the  noblest  men  that  ever 
lived,  and  really  and  truly,  and  not  to  the  detriment  of  any- 
body else,  the  life  of  '82.  May  I  ask  you  all  to  drink  a 
silent  toast  to  George  Richardson? 

The  crowd  dispersed,  singing  "Auld  Tang  Svne.,, 

Wednesday  morning  was  a  period  devoted  to  rest  and 
recuperation  by  such  as  were  wearied  by  the  festivities  of 
the  previous  day,  and  many  of  the  men  attended  the  com- 
mencement exercises  and  the  alumni  dinner  in  University 
Hall.  In  the  afternoon  a  heavy  rainfall  cooled  the  atmo- 
sphere, but  did  not  dampen  the  ardor  of  the  ladies  of  the 
class,  who  in  full  numbers  attended  the  reception  given  in 
their  honor  at  the  club-house.  The  members  of  the  class 
were  present  in  force,  and  the  gathering  was  most  enjoy- 
able, the  guests  of  the  occasion  especially  appearing  to  ap- 
preciate their  novel  surroundings.  The  benign  influence  of 
the  ladies  abashed  and  hushed  the  demon  chorus,  and  the 
angel  choir,  now  in  the  ascendant,  tunefully  rendered  the 
beautiful  verses  composed  by  Tyman  and  Welch.  In  the 
evening  the  entire  delegation  of  the  class  whiled  away  the 
hours  until  early  morning  with  song  and  story  in  the  tent. 

Thursday  was  given  over  to  the  university  race.  Through 
the  foresight  of  Kellogg  a  buffet-car  with  a  coach  as  trailer 
had  been  chartered  for  the  class,  luncheon  was  provided, 
and  an  otherwise  tiresome  trip  thus  made  the  occasion  of 
another  social  gathering.  Owing  to  adverse  winds,  the  race 
was  postponed  until  evening,  but  compensation  for  the  delay 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

was  found  in  the  magnificent  contest  of  the  rival  crews.  It 
is  stated  by  old  habitues  that  no  race  has  ever  equaled  in 
breathless  excitement  that  of  the  current  year,  and  to  the 
members  of  '82  a  greatly  increased  and  personal  interest 
was  lent  to  the  occasion  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  the  son  of 
Jim  Rice  pulled  number  three  in  the  Yale  boat,  wearing  the 
'82  pin  presented  to  him  by  his  father's  class.  Victory  un- 
der such  circumstances  had  a  double  zest. 


At  the  Race 

While  many  of  the  class  left  for  home  immediately  after 
the  race,  enough  remained  to  make  good  company  back  to 
New  Haven.  To  fill,  not  unacceptably,  the  vacancies  caused 
by  the  deserters,  the  ladies  present  were  invited  to  the  table 
d'hote  dinner  in  the  club-house,  at  which  thirty-five  were 
present.  Though  tinged  with  the  sadness  of  approaching 
separation,  the  evening  passed  agreeably,  and  so,  gently  and 
pleasantly,  the  present  blended  with  the  past,  and  the  re- 
union was  but  a  memory. 


At  the  annual  New  York  dinner  at  the  Yale  Club  on  March 
6,  1908,  Welch,  chairman  of  the  finance  committee,  read 
the  following  letter  and  financial  report  of  the  twenty-fifth 
reunion: 


THE  TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 


YALE  UNIVERSITY 

New  Haven,  Conn.,  July  20,  1907. 
My  dear  Mr.  Welch  : 

I  beg  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  your  letters  of  July  17 
and  18.  The  check  for  $18,000,  representing  the  twenty- 
fifth  anniversary  subscription  of  the  class  of  1882,  has  been 
duly  received  and  handed  over  to  the  Treasurer's  office. 
The  principal  will  be  preserved  intact  in  accordance  with 
your  request,  the  income  alone  being  used,  at  the  discretion 
of  the  Corporation. 

I  assure  you  that  the  authorities  of  the  University  will 
feel  that  your  class  has  made  a  very  handsome  contribution, 
especially  in  view  of  the  financial  situation  in  the  country  in 
the  last  few  months. 

I  am  glad  to  take  this  opportunity  to  express  to  you  my 
appreciation  of  the  exceedingly  high  character  of  your  anni- 
versary exercises.  Your  class  has  set  an  example  which  will 
have  a  marked  effect  in  acting  as  a  helpful  tonic  to  the  qual- 
ity of  commencement  reunions  in  New  Haven. 

With  high  regard,  I  am, 

Sincerely  yours, 

Anson  Phelps  Stokes,  Jr.

BIOGRAPHIES 

Frank  Frost  Abbott  is  the  son  of  Thaddeus  Marvin 
Abbott  and  Mary  Jane  (Frost)  Abbott.  He  is  of  English 
stock  on   both   sides.      His    father's   ancestors   came    from 


Frank  Frost  Abbott 


England  about  1650  and  settled  in  Xorwalk,  Connecticut. 
His  grandparents  were  Thaddeus  Abbott  of  Redding,  Con- 
necticut, and  Rebecca  Marvin  of  Wilton,  Connecticut. 
Their  son,  Thaddeus  Marvin  Abbott,  who  was  born  in 
Redding  on  September  3,  181 1,  was  educated  in  the  Red- 
ding schools  and  the  St.  John  Private  School  of  Ridgefield, 
Connecticut,  engaged  all  his  life  in  business  and  farming  in 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

or  near  his  birthplace,  and  died  in  White  Plains,  New  York, 
on  April  6,  1897.  His  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Daniel 
Andrus  Frost  of  Danbury,  Connecticut,  and  Hannah  Mal- 
lory  of  Redding.  She  was  born  in  18 19  in  New  York  City, 
lived  in  New  York  till  she  was  married,  and  died  in  Redding 
on  July  5,  1895. 

Our  classmate  himself  was  born  in  Redding  on  March 
27,  i860.  He  attended  public  school,  the  Sanford  Pri- 
vate School  in  Redding,  and  the  Albany  (New  York)  High 
School.  Throughout  his  college  course  he  roomed  with 
Sanford,  freshman  year  in  a  private  house,  sophomore 
year  in  North,  and  junior  and  senior  years  in  Farnam.  He 
was  editor  of  the  Yale  Courant  in  senior  year,  was  a  mem- 
ber of  the  class-day  committee,  and  salutatorian  at  gradu- 
ation. He  belonged  to  Eta  Phi  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon, 
and  is  a  graduate  member  of  Wolf's  Head. 

After  graduation  he  spent  the  years  from  1882  to  1891 
in  New  Haven,  except  for  six  months  in  1884,  when  he  was 
a  private  tutor  in  Washington,  District  of  Columbia,  and 
for  two  years  (1889-91)  he  was  studying  in  Germany  and 
Italy.  During  the  early  part  of  his  stay  in  New  Haven  he 
was  studying  in  the  Graduate  School,  and  for  the  last  five 
years  was  instructor  in  Latin  at  Yale.  In  1891  he  went  to 
Chicago  with  the  late  President  Harper  to  help  him  organ- 
ize the  University  of  Chicago,  being  the  first  professor  ap- 
pointed in  that  institution.  His  health  suffered  from  the 
work  attendant  on  the  organization  of  the  university,  and 
he  spent  1894-95  in  Colorado  recuperating,  returning  to 
Chicago  in  1895.  The  year  1901-02  he  spent  in  Rome  as 
professor  in  the  American  School  of  Classical  Studies.  The 
principal  fields  in  which  he  has  specialized  and  in  which  most 
of  his  books  and  articles  have  been  written  are  Latin 
epigraphy,  Roman  history,  and  colloquial  Latin.  He  has 
been  one  of  the  editors  of  Classical  Philology,  a  quarterly 


BIOGRAPHIES 

devoted  to  research  in  classical  antiquity.  At  present  he  is 
professor  of  Latin  in  Princeton,  having  been  elected  to  this 
position  in  1908.  His  principal  work  there  is  in  the  Gradu- 
ate School.  He  was  Clark  scholar  at  Yale  in  1882-83, 
Clark  scholar  and  Larned  scholar  in  1883-84,  a  student  at 
the  University  of  Berlin  in  1888,  and  in  the  University  of 
Bonn  in  1889,  and  took  his  Ph.D.  at  Yale  in  1891. 

Of  books  he  has  published:  "Selected  Letters  of  Cicero" 
(Ginn  &  Co.,  1897)  ;  "Roman  Political  Institutions"  (Ginn 
&  Co.,  1 90 1 )  ;  "The  Toledo  Manuscript  of  theGermania  of 
Tacitus"  (University  Press  of  Chicago,  1904)  ;  "Short  His- 
tory of  Rome"  ( Scott,  Foresman  &  Co.,  1 906 )  ;  "Society  and 
Politics  in  Ancient  Rome"  (Charles  Scribner's  Sons,  1909). 
He  has  also  written  a  "Handbook  for  the  Study  of  Roman 
History"  (Scott,  Foresman  &  Co.,  1906),  and  numerous 
papers,  of  which  the  following  is  a  list:  "Notes  upon  Latin

James  Ferguson  Allex  is  the  son  of  Heman  Bangs  Allen 
and  Margaret  E.  (Ferguson)  Allen.  Heman  Bangs  Allen 
was  born  on  March  16,  1827,  at  New  Haven,  Connecticut, 
but  spent  a  large  part  of  his  life  at  Meriden,  Connecticut, 
where  he  died  on  May  28,  1891.  The  family  was  of 
Scotch  origin,  having  come  to  this  country  early  in  the  eigh- 
teenth century  and  settled  at  Bernardston,  Massachusetts. 
On  his  mother's  side  Allen  is  also  of  Scotch  descent,  the

James  Ferguson  Allen 

Connecticut.  Prior  to  entering  college  he  lived  in  New 
Haven,  attending  the  New  Haven  High  School  and  the 
Hopkins  Grammar  School,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in 
1878,  entering  '82  at  the  beginning  of  freshman  year. 
During  junior  and  senior  years  he  roomed  in  Farnam  with 
Shoemaker,  playing  football  and  rowing  for  recreation.  He 
was  a  member  of  Kappa  Sigma  Epsilon  and  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon. 

After  being  graduated  Allen  roamed  around  the  world 
for  some  time,  and  finally  settled  in  Meriden,  where  he  has 
since  resided.  He  writes  the  following  graphic  account  of 
his  career: 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

"I  'm  up  a  stump  on  this  thing.  My  simple  tale  is  cov- 
ered in  a  few  brief  words. 

"After  leaving  New  Haven  I  traveled  for  the  Meriden 
Bronze  Company  for  a  couple  of  years.  Knocked  around 
Chicago  for  a  time,  and  then  spent  over  three  years  in 
central  Montana,  working  with  cattle. 

"Came  back  to  Meriden  and  went  into  an  office.  The 
people  I  worked  for  had  an  interest  in  the  Meriden 
Gravure  Company;  things  were  unsatisfactory,  and  I  was 
sent  here.  Got  interested  in  the  business  and  have  been  here 
ever  since. 

"That  's  about  the  story.  In  my  devious  corkscrewings  I 
feel  that  I  have  retained  all  my  vices  and  annexed  very  at- 
tenuated virtues. 

"Have  worked  hard,  caught  a  full  allowance  of  bumps 
and  disappointments,  I  think,  but  on  the  whole  accomplished 
somewhat. 

"Am  sorry  to  have  kept  you  and  Jim  and  Josh  waiting  so 
long  for  this,  but  reviewing  such  a  life  and  career  is  a  thing 
not  to  be  done  lightly. 

"Heaven  be  good  to  you  all.     You  need  it." 

The  career  which  Allen  treats  so  lightly  is  really  one  of 
distinguished  success.  He  is  president  and  treasurer  of  the 
Meriden  Gravure  Company,  and  secretary  of  the  Parker 
Clock  Company. 

On  November  2,  1893,  he  married  Cornelia  Parker 
Breese,  a  daughter  of  Theodore  F.  Breese  of  Meriden,  Con- 
necticut. They  have  three  children,  all  boys,  ranging  in  age 
from  three  to  fifteen  years  :  Parker  Breese,  born  October  3 1 , 
1895;  Theodore  Ferguson,  born  October  29,  1897;  and 
Gordon  Ferguson,  born  October  2,  1906. 

His  address  is  501  East  Main  Street,  Meriden,  Connec-

most  of  his  life  in  Brooklyn,  New  York,  and  died  there  on 
November  2,  1894.  His  family  was  of  English  origin,  com- 
ing from  England  in  1638  and  settling  in  Boston,  and  after- 
ward in  Salisbury,  Massachusetts.  Allen's  mother  was  born 
on  August  14,  1826,  at  North  Scituate,  Rhode  Island,  and 
is  still  living.  Her  family  was  also  of  English  origin,  her 
ancestors  having  come  from  England  and  settled  in  Provi- 
dence, Rhode  Island,  prior  to  1650.  A  large  number  of 
Allen's  ancestors  were  members  of  the  colonial  government 
and  took  part  in  the  various  colonial  wars.  Several  of  his 
ancestors  both  on  the  maternal  and  paternal  sides  were 
likewise  in  the  Revolutionary  War.     Three  of  his  brothers

were  graduated  from  Yale,  one  in  the  class  of  '68,  one  in 
'80,  and  one  in  '86. 

Allen  was  born  in  New  York  City  on  February  12,  i860. 
He  prepared  for  Yale  at  the  Polytechnic  Institute  in  Brook- 
lyn, New  York,  and  entered  college  at  the  beginning  of 
freshman  year.  During  that  year  he  roomed  with  Bate  on 
Crown  Street,  during  sophomore  year  with  Corey  in  Divin- 
ity Hall,  and  during  junior  and  senior  years  with  Sholes  in 
Durfee  Hall.  He  was  a  member  during  freshman  year  of 
Delta  Kappa,  and  during  junior  year  of  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon. 

After  leaving  college  he  traveled  extensively  abroad,  vis- 
iting Norway,  Sweden,  Russia,  the  Holy  Land,  Italy,  Tur- 
key, Greece,  and  Egypt.  Returning  to  this  country,  he 
entered  his  father's  firm,  that  of  William  L.  Allen  &  Com- 
pany, and  it  has  since  been  unnecessary  for  him  to  change 
his  occupation,  that  of  commission  merchant  in  dried  fruits 
and  California  products. 

Outside  of  business  he  has  given  some  attention  to  local 
politics  in  Brooklyn,  not  as  an  office-seeker,  but  as  an  influ- 
ence for  good,  and  he  exercises  considerable  political  power 
in  his  neighborhood.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the  gen-

try  in   1690  and  settled  at  Clermont,   Livingston   Manor, 
New  York. 

Atterbury  was  born  on  August  29,  i860,  at  Trenton,  New 
Jersey,  where  he  resided  until  he  was  twelve  years  of  age, 
when  he  went  to  school  at  Chester,  Pennsylvania.  There- 
after he  attended  the  Pennsylvania  Military  Academy  at 
Chester,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1876.  He  then 
spent  one  year  under  a  private  tutor,  and  entered  the  sopho- 
more class  of  Princeton  in  1877.  Subsequently  he  left 
Princeton  and  entered  Yale  with  the  class  of  '82  in  Decem- 
ber, 1878.  Atterbury  roomed  alone  throughout  his  college 
course,  at  first  in  the  town  and  subsequently  in  North  Col- 
lege. He  was  an  editor  of  the  Yale  News  for  two  years, 
and  took  the  Cobden  Club  medal  for  excellence  in  political 
economy. 

After  leaving  Yale  Atterbury  attended  the  Columbia  Law 
School,  from  which  he  was  graduated  with  the  degree  of 
B.L.  in  1884.  He  then  spent  four  years  as  a  clerk,  after 
which  he  entered  upon  practice  by  himself.  During  the 
spare  time  of  his  early  career  as  a  practising  lawyer  he 
wrote  an  essay  of  about  one  hundred  pages  on  the  "Admis- 
sibility of  Parole  Evidence  in  the  Interpretation  of  Wills," 
which  was  awarded  a  prize  of  two  hundred  and  fifty  dol- 
lars, offered  by  the  Bar  Association  of  the  State  of  New 
York  for  the  best  essay  on  that  subject. 

He  is  now  carrying  on  the  practice  of  a  successful  lawyer 
in  the  city  of  New  York,  while  in  Plainfield,  New  Jersey, 
where  he  resides,  he  is  a  leader  in  many  social  and  public- 
spirited  enterprises.  In  politics  Atterbury  is  a  Cleveland 
Democrat,  and  has  never  held  public  office.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  University  Club  and  of  the  Association 
of  the  Bar  of  the  City  of  New  York,  and  has  twice, 
namely,  in  1894  and  again  in  1907,  traveled  extensively

ger's  mother  was  born  in  Milton,  Massachusetts,  November 
15,  1827.  She  spent  her  early  life  in  Milton,  and  died 
October  13,  1901.  Her  father  was  John  Campbell,  and 
her  mother  Fanny  Babcock,  both  of  Milton.  On  his  moth- 
er's side  Badger's  ancestors  were  Scotch,  and  their  first 
American  home  was  at  Milton,  Massachusetts. 

Badger  was  born  in  Boston  on  January  15,  1859,  and 
lived  in  that  city  until  it  came  time  for  him  to  go  to  Yale. 
The  Washington  Grammar  School,  the  Phillips  Grammar 
School  (1873),  the  English  High  School  (1876),  and 
Adams  Academy  (1878)  had  the  honor  of  contributing 
to  his  early  education.  He  entered  Yale  at  the  begin- 
ning of  freshman  year  with  the  class  of  '82,  and  imme- 
diately showed  evidences  of  his  athletic  ability  by  becoming 
captain  of  the  freshman  ball  nine.  All  through  college, 
the  first  two  years  of  which  he  roomed  with  Camp  on 
York  Street  and  in  South  Middle,  and  the  last  two  with 
Knapp  in  Farnam,  he  was  a  conspicuous  figure  by  virtue  of 
his  athletic  prowess.  For  four  years  he  was  on  the  univer- 
sity football  team,  and  he  was  a  member  of  the  university 
baseball  team  for  three  years  and  captain  in  senior  year. 
In  junior  year  he  was  also  president  of  the  Yale  Athletic 
Association  and  of  the  Intercollegiate  Athletic  Association. 
Badger  was  on  the  peanut  bum  committee,  president  of  the 
Kappa  Sigma  Epsilon  campaign  committee,  and  on  the 
sophomore  German  committee.  He  was  a  member  of 
Kappa  Sigma  Epsilon,  He  Boule,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon,  and 
Skull  and  Bones. 

September  21,  1882,  he  entered  the  office  of  Solomon 
Lincoln  and  George  L.  Huntress.  While  a  student  there  he 
took  a  three  years'  course  in  the  Boston  University  Law 
School,  being  graduated  cum  laude  in  1885.  The  summer 
of  1885  he  spent  in  Europe,  partly  on  business  and  partly 
on  pleasure.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Massachusetts 
in  September,  1885. 


BIOGRAPHIES 

He  was  ambitious  to  become  a  trial  lawyer.  Before  he 
had  studied  law  a  year  he  began  to  try  cases,  and  tried  sev- 
eral of  them  before  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar.  Since  ad- 
mission most  of  his  work  has  been  done  in  the  court-room. 
If  he  has  had  any  specialty  it  has  been  the  trial  of  jury 
cases.  It  has  been  said  that  he  has  tried  as  many  jury  cases 
as  any  lawyer  in  the  State  of  Massachusetts.  He  has  tried 
for  the  Boston  and  Maine  Railroad,  the  Travelers'  Insurance 
Company,  the  JEtna  Life  Insurance  Company,  the  John 
Hancock  Life  Insurance  Company,  the  Boston  gas  com- 
panies, the  Jones  &  Laughlin  Steel  Company,  the  Cudahy 
Packing  Company,  Albert  C.  Burrage,  Henry  H.  Rogers, 
and  others. 

Perhaps  the  most  difficult  case  of  all  was  that  growing 
out  of  the  Subway  explosion  of  March  4,  1897.  The  final 
trial  consumed  eighty-six  days  and  resulted  in  a  victory  for 
his  client,  the  Boston  Gas  Light  Company,  against  the  Edi- 
son Electric  Illuminating  Company.  The  case  involving 
the  most  money  in  which  he  has  been  engaged  was  that  of 
the  Bay  State  Gas  Company  of  Delaware,  George  W.  Pep- 
per, Receiver,  v.  H.  H.  Rogers. 

For  several  months  he  was  president  of  the  Everett  Na- 
tional Bank  of  Boston.  He  is  a  Republican,  but,  as  he 
writes : 

"My  time  has  been  devoted  to  my  profession.  I  have 
taken  no  part  in  politics.  My  work  has  demanded  very  close 
application,  leaving  me  very  little  time  for  outside  matters. 
Summers  I  have  indulged  in  yachting  and  tennis,  but  during 
the  remainder  of  the  year  sports  are  out  of  the  question." 

Badger  belongs  to  the  University  Club  of  New  York,  the 
University  Club  of  Boston,  the  New  Haven  Graduates' 
Club,  the  Exchange  and  Algonquin  clubs  of  Boston,  the 
Brookline  Country  Club,  the  Yale  Club  of  New  York,  the 
Eastern  Yacht  Club,  the  Boston  Yacht  Club,  and  the  Curtis 
Club.     His  foreign  travel  includes  a  trip  through  England,

Scotland,  Ireland,  and  Belgium  in  1885,  and  through 
France,  Holland,  and  Germany  in  1900. 

On  October  6,  1887,  he  married  Elizabeth  Hand  Wilcox 
of  New  Haven,  at  Center  Church  in  that  city.  She  is  the 
daughter  of  Daniel  Hand  Wilcox  and  Frances  Louisa  ( Ans- 
ley)  Wilcox  of  Savannah,  Georgia.  George  A.  Wilcox,  an 
uncle  of  Mrs.  Badger,  was  graduated  from  Yale,  as  were 
her  brothers:  Ansley,  Marrion,  Daniel  H.,  Francis  M.,  and 
David  Urquhart  Wilcox. 

They  have  two  children:  Walter  Irving  Badger,  Jr., 
born  September  16,  1891,  at  Cambridge,  Massachusetts, 
and  Grace  Ansley  Badger,  born  July  13,  1893,  at  West 
Chop,  Massachusetts.  Young  Walter  completed  his  pre- 
paratory course  at  St.  Paul's,  Concord,  with  the  class  of 
1908.  He  then  spent  six  months  in  Arizona  and  four 
months  in  Europe,  and  is  now  a  member  of  the  class  of 
1913  at  Yale. 

His  business  address  is  53  State  Street,  Boston,  and  his

the  son  of  Joseph  Bailey  and  Martha  Lukens  of  Pins  Iron 
Works,  Berks  County,  Pennsylvania,  and  died  September  5, 
1899.  He  was  in  the  iron  business  in  Harrisburg,  Penn-

Bailey  was  born  on  February  10,  i860,  in  Harrisburg, 
Pennsylvania.  Private  instruction  at  home,  one  year  at  the 
Hill  School,  Pottstown,  Pennsylvania,  and  three  years  at 
Phillips  Andover  Academy  prepared  him  for  Yale,  which 
he  entered  with  the  class  of  '82.  Eaton  was  his  roommate

From  1883  to  1888  he  was  in  the  iron  business  in  Harris- 
burg,  Pennsylvania.  From  1889  to  1893  he  was  in  real  es- 
tate and  banking  in  Seattle,  Washington.  He  was  park 
commissioner  of  Seattle  in  1892  and  1893,  and  he  is  now

after  his  years  in  Seattle.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Market 
Square  Presbyterian  Church,  the  Merion  Cricket  Club  (of 
Haverford),  the  Harrisburg  Country  Club,  and  the  Dau- 
phin County  Historical  Society.  In  1882,  after  leaving  col- 
lege, and  again  in  1895,  he  visited  Europe  and  traveled 
through  many  countries. 

On  September  5,  1892,  he  married  Fay  Alger,  daughter 
of  General  Russell  A.  Alger  and  Annette  Henry.  Mrs. 
Bailey's  ancestors  came  from  New  England  and  were  of 
English  origin.  Her  brother,  Frederick  M.  Alger,  is  a 
graduate  of  Harvard  '99. 

There  are  two  children:  Russell  Alger,  born  on  April  3, 
1898,  in  Thorndale,  Chester  County,  Pennsylvania,  and  An-

HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

Floyd  Julius  Bartlett  is  the  son  of  Eathan  E.  Bartlett 
and  Phoebe  D.  (Foster)  Bartlett.  Eathan  E.  Bartlett  was 
born  December  17,   1804,  at  Bath,  New  Hampshire.     He 


Floyd  Julius  Bartlett 

graduated  at  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  in  New 
York  City,  and  practised  in  Warsaw,  New  York,  where  he 
passed  the  greater  part  of  his  life;  he  died  there  on  July  25, 
1873.  Dr.  Bartlett's  family  long  resided  at  Bath,  New 
Hampshire,  whither  they  moved  from  Newburyport,  Mas- 
sachusetts, where  they  had  settled  upon  their  arrival  from 
England  in  1635.  Bartlett's  mother  was  born  March  26, 
1 8 16,  at  Danby,  New  York,  but  spent  most  of  her  life  at 
Warsaw,  where  she  died  on  May  7,  1887.  Her  family  was 
of  English  origin,  her  ancestors  having  come  from  England 
and  settled  at  East  Hampton,  Long  Island,  at  an  early  date. 
Bartlett's  uncle,  Julius  Foster,  was  graduated  from  Hamil- 
ton in  1833,  and  from  Princeton  Theological  Seminary  in 


BIOGRAPHIES 

1837,  and  various  cousins  were  graduated  from  Mount  Hol- 
yoke  Seminary,  Yale  and  Princeton  universities. 

Bartlett  was  born  October  20,  1857,  at  Warsaw,  New 
York.  He  prepared  for  college  at  the  Warsaw  Academy, 
entering  '82  in  September,  1878.  During  freshman  year  he 
roomed  alone,  and  during  the  remaining  three  years  with 
Palmer;  in  sophomore  year  in  South  Middle,  and  in  junior 
and  senior  years  in  Durfee.  He  sang  in  the  Freshman  Glee 
Club,  and  was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

Immediately  after  leaving  college  Bartlett  entered  upon 
his  career  as  a  teacher,  which  profession  he  has  since  followed 
uninterruptedly.  His  first  engagement  was  at  his  boyhood's 
home,  Warsaw,  New  York,  where  from  1882  to  1886  he 
was  vice-principal  of  the  high  school.  From  1886  to  1891 
he  was  superintendent  of  schools  at  Fairport,  New  York, 
and  then  removed  to  Albany,  where  he  became  the  head  of 
the  classical  department  of  the  State  Normal  College.  He 
remained  in  Albany  until  1 895,  when  he  accepted  his  present 
position,  that  of  principal  of  the  Auburn  (New  York)  High 
School.  All  of  Bartlett's  ambitions  are  connected  with  his 
profession,  which  he  loves,  and  the  city  of  his  residence,  to 
wThich  he  is  greatly  attached,  and  that  his  fellow  townsmen 
appreciate  his  ability  and  character  is  evidenced  by  the  fol- 
lowing extract  from  the  introductory  remarks  of  Mr.  Wil- 
liam H.  Seward,  Jr.,  at  a  recent  banquet  at  which  he  pre- 
sided: 

"Mr.  Bartlett's  record  as  principal  of  the  Auburn  Aca- 
demic High  School  is  so  well  known,  not  only  to  high-school 
graduates,  but  to  all  persons  interested  in  education  through- 
out the  State  of  New  York,  that  anything  more  than  a  for- 
mal introduction  by  me  is  unnecessary. 

"The  record  made  by  Mr.  Bartlett  in  encouraging  gradu- 
ates to  continue  their  education  with  college  courses  is  sirm 
ply  astounding,  and  there  are  hundreds  of  Auburn  graduates 
who  in  later  years  will  bless  him  for  the  inspiration  he  has 


HISTORY  OF  THE  CLASS  OF  YALE  '82 

given  them,  not  only  in  their  high-school  education,  but  in 
the  continuation  of  it  in  the  higher  college  courses." 

Bartlett  married,  on  December  25,  1883,  Mary  K.  Hay- 
ward,  the  daughter  of  Judge  Lloyd  A.  Hayward,  a  graduate 
of  Amherst,  and  Mary  J.  Farmer.  They  have  three  chil- 
dren, one  a  daughter,  who  was  married  in  the  winter  of 
1909,  and  the  other  two  boys,  one  a  sophomore  at  Williams 
and  the  other  preparing  for  Yale.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
Madison  Avenue  Dutch  Reformed  Church  of  Albany,  New 
York,  of  the  Owasco  Country  Club,  of  the  Auburn  City 
Club,  of  the  Convocation  Council  of  the  Department  of 
Education  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  of  the  State 
Academic  Principals'  Association. 

His  address  is  9  Hamilton  Avenue,  Auburn,  New  York.

of  Danville,  Kentucky,  in  the  class  of  1858,  while  another 
brother,  David  Bennett,  was  graduated  from  Bellevue  Hos- 
pital Medical  College  of  New  York  in  1863,  and  a  third 
brother,  Waller  Bennett,  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  1872. 

Bennett  was  born  October  2,  1858,  at  Whitehall,  Ken- 
tucky. Before  coming  to  Yale  he  was  graduated  from  the 
Central  University  at  Richmond,  Kentucky,  and  entered  '82 
at  the  beginning  of  sophomore  year.  During  his  college 
course  he  roomed  with  Chenault,  in  sophomore  year  in  the 
town,  in  junior  year  in  Farnam,  and  in  senior  year  in  Durfee 
Hall.  Bennett,  commonly  known  as  "Bunk,"  strolled  onto 
the  campus  in  sophomore  year,  where  his  bland  smile,  child- 
like demeanor,  and  Kentucky  drawl  soon  won  him  a  host  of 
friends,  and  he  and  his  running  mate  Chenault  rapidly  as- 
similated the  college  atmosphere. 

Since  graduation  he  has  been  located  in  his  native  State, 
where  he  has  interested  himself  in  agricultural  pursuits. 
Later  politics  occupied  his  attention,  and  he  became  deputy 
collector  of  internal  revenue.  Tiring  of  this,  he  accepted 
the  position  of  cashier  of  the  Louisville  and  Nashville  Rail- 
road, which  position  he  occupied  from  1894  to  1895.  ^e" 
entering  politics,  he  became  corporation  clerk  in  the  office 
of  the  State  auditor.  Through  the  death  of  his  parents  he 
came  into  possession  of  the  family  homestead  at  Whitehall, 
since  which  time  he  has  resided  there  and  tilled  the  ancestral 
acres.  The  twenty-fifth  anniversary  was  the  first  occasion 
on  which  Bennett  returned  to  New  Haven  since  1882, 
and  both  he  and  Mrs.  Bennett,  whom  he  brought  with  him, 
enjoyed  the  occasion  to  the  utmost. 

Bennett  married  on  February  18,  1886,  Mary  W.  War- 
field,  the  daughter  of  Benjamin  Warfield  and  Clara  Coch- 
rane.    Both  the  father  and  grandfather  of  Mrs.  Bennett

of  Roosevelt,  in  a  State  where  Republicans  are  needed,  Ben- 
nett is  opposed  to  race  suicide,  and  is  the  father  of  seven 
children,  all  but  two  of  whom  are  living.  Of  these  three

Separatists'  meetings.  At  Levden  he  had  a  printing-press, 
and  at  Plymouth.  Massachusetts,  he  was  "preaching  elder" 
—  practically  the  pastor.  Our  classmate's  mother  was  the

attended  the  elementary  school  there  and  studied  at  home, 
until  about  1873,  when  he  was  sent  to  the  Eaton  School  in 
New  Haven.  In  1875  ne  entered  the  Hopkins  Grammar 
School,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1878  to  prove  an 
ornament  to  the  class  of  '82  in  Yale.  He  held  a  Woolsey 
scholarship,  took  a  first  prize  in  English  composition  in 
sophomore  year,  and  was  Townsend  essayist  and  De  Forest 
prize  speaker  in  senior  year.  This  literary  ability  was  evi- 
denced also  by  contributions  to  the  Lit  and  the  C  our  ant. 
In  senior  year  he  was  one  of  the  /,/'/  editors.  He  was  a 
member  of  Delta  Kappa,  Eta  Phi,  Psi  Upsilon,  and  Skull

his  course  he  was  with  George  Graves,  sophomore  year  in 
North  Middle,  and  junior  and  senior  years  in  Farnam. 
Of  his  career  since  graduation  Brewster  writes: 
"Inasmuch  as  my  future  occupation  was  not  clear  to  me 
at  the  time  of  my  graduation,  I  took  a  year  to  think  things 
over,  spending  a  few  months  in  graduate  work  with  Presi- 
dent Porter  at  New  Haven,  and  then  (because  I  had  to  earn 
my  living)  teaching  school  for  six  months  in  Cleveland,  as 
an  assistant  in  Mr.  Bridgman's  Academy.  In  the  summer 
of  1883  it  became  evident  to  me  that  I  ought  to  study  for 
the  ministry,  and  I  spent  three  years  in  theological  study  at 
the  General  Theological  Seminary  (Protestant  Episcopal) 
in  New  York.  There,  just  before  my  ordination  to  the 
diaconate,  my  dear  friend  and  classmate,  the  late  James 
Campbell,  saw  me,  declared  that  I  was  tired  and  needed  a 
change,  and  gave  me  a  most  liberal  present  for  a  four 
months'  trip  in  Europe.  For  five  years,  from  November, 
1886,  I  was  an  assistant  minister  in  Calvary  Parish,  New 
York,  being  in  charge  of  Calvary  Chapel,  East  Twenty- 
third  Street,  during  the  last  four  years  of  this  period.  My 
marriage  to  Stella  Yates  took  place  June  10,  1891,  and  in 
November  of  that  year  we  moved  to  South  Orange,  New

Jersey,  where  we  spent  four  happy  years,  I  being  the  rector 
of  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Communion.  Here  our  oldest 
child,  Katrina,  was  born. 

"In  1895  it  seemed  to  the  doctors  best  that  I  should  reside 
in  a  dry  climate,  and,  the  way  opening  to  the  rectorship  of 
Grace  Church,  Colorado  Springs,  we  lived  in  that  delightful 
spot  from  November,  1895,  until  May  30,  1906.  Here  our 
boy,  named  Benjamin  Yates,  was  born.  But  sadness  came 
to  us  in  the  death  of  our  third  child,  Josephine  Stella,  aged 
six  months,  just  before  Christmas,  1900. 

"Colorado  gave  me  health  and  vigor,  and  broadened  my 
horizon.  Though  the  East  never  ceases  to  attract,  I  am 
glad  to  have  learned  something  of  the  great  West.  At  the 
earnest  request  of  the  Bishop  of  Salt  Lake,  backing  the  call 
of  the  parish,  I  went  to  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  assuming  the 
charge  of  the  Cathedral  Parish  there  (St.  Mark's)  on  June 
I,  1906. 

"After  three  years  of  work  in  the  Mormon  city,  the 
House  of  Bishops  of  my  Church  called  me  to  be  missionary 
Bishop  of  Western  Colorado.  I  was  consecrated  to  this 
office  on  June  17,  1909,  at  Salt  Lake  City,  and  at  once  moved 
to  Colorado,  making  my  residence  at  Glenwood  Springs. 
But  I  am  away  from  home  more  than  half  the  time,  travel- 
ing over  the  twenty  huge  counties  on  'the  Western  Slope,' 
which  are  included  in  my  jurisdiction.  We  have  four  living 
children  now,  two  having  been  born  in  Utah.  It  was  the 
advent  of  our  little  William,  on  June  24,  1907,  which  kept 
me  away  from  the  quarter-centennial  reunion  of  the  class." 

The  date  of  Brewster's  graduation  from  the  seminary  was 
1886.  The  European  trip  in  1886  took  him  to  Great  Brit- 
ain, France,  Germany,  Belgium,  Switzerland,  and  Italy.  He 
visited  the  same  countries  again  in  the  summer  of  1889.  A 
sermon  of  his  on  "Queen  Victoria"  has  been  issued  in  pam- 
phlet form,  and  he  has  published  various  articles,  among 
them  "Divorce  and  Marriage"  in  the  Michigan  Law  Re-

the  diocese  of  Colorado  from  1897  to  1906,  and  president 
of  the  Council  of  Advice  in  the  district  of  Salt  Lake  from 
1906  to  1909.  From  1899  to  1906  he  was  chaplain  of  the 
Colorado  Springs  lodge  of  Elks,  and  from  1895  to  1906 
he  was  chaplain  of  the  Colorado  Springs  council  of  the 
Royal  Arcanum.  In  1897  and  1898  he  was  a  director  of  the 
Colorado  Springs  Young  Men's  Christian  Association. 

His  wife,  Stella  Yates,  born  on  November  23,  1866,  is 
the  daughter  of  Charles  Yates  (brigadier-general  in  the 
Civil  War)  and  Josephine  Bosworth.  She  had  the  follow-

1878.  His  parents  were  Ferree  Brinton  and  Elizabeth 
Sharpless  of  Lancaster  County.  The  Ferree  ancestors  were 
French  Huguenots,  and  came  to  this  country  in  1708  from

France  via  Bavaria,  the  Black  Forest,  and  England,  to 
settle  in  Lancaster  County,  Pennsylvania,  after  a  short  so- 
journ at  Esopus,  New  York.  The  Brinton  ancestors  came 
from  Staffordshire,  England,  in  1624,  and  settled  in  Chester 
County,  Pennsylvania.  Our  classmate's  mother  was  born 
on  December  24,  1834,  in  Boston,  where  she  lived  until  her 
marriage.  She  died  on  July  17,  1870,  at  Newport,  Rhode 
Island.  Her  parents  were  Amos  Binney  and  Mary  Anna 
Binney,  first  cousins,  both  of  Boston.  The  Binney  ancestors 
came  from  Nottinghamshire,  England,  in  1678,  and  settled 
at  Hull,  Massachusetts.  Other  ancestors  include  the 
Raines,    the    Shaws,    the    Lorings,    and    Stephen    Hopkins,

who  came  over  in  the  Mayflower  in  1620.  The  Binney  men 
of  his  mother's  generation  were  all  Harvard  graduates. 
Brinton's  brother  Sharswood  was  in  the  Yale  class  of  1886. 

Brinton  was  born  on  July  8,  1861,  in  Philadelphia,  lived 
in  that  city  for  about  two  years,  then  in  Lancaster  County 
till  1866,  then  in  France  till  1870,  and  then  principally  in 
Philadelphia  until  he  entered  college  in  1878.  For  several 
years  he  was  at  Rugby  Academy  in  Philadelphia,  and  for  the 
last  year  before  college  had  a  private  tutor.  In  freshman 
year  he  roomed  alone  at  Mrs.  Hotchkiss',  on  York  Street, 
in  sophomore  year  with  Beach  in  49  South  Middle,  in  junior 
and  senior  years  with  Beach  in  Durfee.  He  was  the  chair- 
man of  the  senior  supper  committee  and  received  an  oration 
appointment.  He  was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa,  of  Psi 
Upsilon,  and  is  a  graduate  member  of  Wolf's  Head. 

He  spent  six  months  in  Europe  after  graduation,  visiting 
Ireland,  England,  Scotland,  Holland,  Belgium,  Germany, 
Italy,  France,  Switzerland,  Austria,  and  Hungary.  On  his 
return  he  entered  the  law  school  of  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, and  received  the  LL.B.  degree,  with  the  prize  for 
the  best  final  examination,  in  June,  1885.  Thereupon  he 
was  admitted  to  practice  in  Philadelphia,  and  has  been  an 
attorney-at-law  there  since.     He  writes  : 

"About  nine  years  ago  I  bought  two  acres  of  land  in 
Radnor  Township,  Delaware  County,  Pennsylvania,  about 
eight  minutes'  wralk  from  St.  David's  station,  and  built 
thereon  a  comfortable  two-story  house,  with  large  rooms 
and  wide  porches.  Since  that  time  I  have  added,  from  time 
to  time,  three  acres  more  of  ground,  and  have  improved  the 
land,  which  was  originally  a  corn-field,  and  also  the  house, 
so  that  I  now  have  a  very  comfortable  place  of  five  acres, 
upon  which,  in  addition  to  a  rather  large  and  attractive 
house,  I  have  a  chicken-house,  an  automobile-house,  a  small 
summer  cabin,  a  vegetable-garden,  tennis  court,  and  plenty 
of  lawn,  with  slowly  growing  trees  and  shrubbery.     Here  I

have  been  living  all  the  year  around  for  the  past  eight  years, 
coming  in  to  my  law  office  in  Philadelphia  every  day,  either 
by  train  or  by  automobile. 

"I  am  sorry  that  I  have  nothing  more  entertaining  to 
relate.  I  am,  however,  reasonably  well,  surrounded  by  a 
loving  and  attractive  family,  living  in  a  comfortable  home, 
having  plenty  of  good  friends,  and  provided  with  sufficient 
worldly  wealth,  including  the  products  of  my  own  labor,  to 
make  life  for  myself  and  family  pleasant  and  happy. 

"I  have  had,  by  reason  of  my  hardness  of  hearing,  to 
restrict  my  own  legal  business  to  office  work,  and  to  assist 
other  lawyers  engaged  in  court  work  in  the  really  legal  end 
of  their  business.  From  a  financial  standpoint  the  arrange- 
ment is  fairly  good." 

In  the  course  of  his  work  he  has  found  time  to  visit  Eu- 
rope six  times  in  addition  to  his  1882  trip.  In  1889  he  trav- 
eled in  England  and  France.  In  1890  it  was  Germany, 
Switzerland,  and  France.  The  following  year  he  visited 
England  and  Wales.  In  1906  the  trip  included  Germany, 
France,  and  England.  In  1907  it  was  restricted  to  Holland, 
while  in  1908  it  was  an  automobile  trip  in  France.  He  is 
a  member  of  the  Graduates'  Club  of  New  Haven,  the  Uni- 
versity Club  of  New  York,  and  the  Rittenhouse  Club  of 
Philadelphia.  At  various  times  in  the  past  he  has  belonged 
to  the  Racquet  Club,  the  Country  Club,  the  University  Club, 
the  Philadelphia  Cricket  Club,  the  Merton  Cricket  Club, 
and  the  Germantown  Cricket  Club,  all  of  or  near  Phila- 
delphia. 

On  April  25,  1893,  in  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  he  mar- 
ried Lina  Ives,  daughter  of  Dr.  Robert  S.  Ives  (Yale  '64) 
and  Maria  Stille.  They  have  three  children:  Caroline  Ives, 
born  on  March  25,  1894;  Anna  Binney,  born  on  January 
22,  1896;  and  Ferree  Brinton,  born  on  August  9,  1900,  all 
in  Philadelphia.  Mrs.  Brinton  comes  of  a  Yale  family.

nary.  He  entered  '82  at  the  beginning  of  sophomore  year 
and  roomed  with  Beede  on  York  Street  in  sophomore  and 
in  North  during  junior  year.  In  senior  year  he  roomed  with 
Rolfe  in  North. 

After  graduation  he  taught  two  years  in  Stamford,  Con- 
necticut, and  then  entered  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons  in  New  York,  from  which  he  received  the  de- 
gree of  M.D.  in  1887.  For  the  two  years  following  he 
was  in  the  surgical  department  of  Roosevelt  Hospital,  and 
then  became  first  resident  surgeon  at  Johns  Hopkins  Hos- 
pital in  Baltimore,  Maryland.  In  the  fall  of  1890  he  re- 
turned to  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  New 
York  as  lecturer  and  demonstrator  of  anatomy,  and  was 
later  secretary  of  the  faculty.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  the  American  Asso- 
ciation of  Anatomists,  the  New  York  Academy  of  Sciences, 
the  New  York  Academy  of  Medicine,  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion of  Roosevelt  Hospital,  the  Johns  Hopkins  Residents' 
Association,  the  Omega  Society  of  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons,  the  New  England  Society,  and  the  New  York 
Athletic  Club.  He  was  the  author  of  "Chemistry  and  Phy- 
sics" and  a  "Compendium  of  Anatomy,"  and  of  several 
valuable  monographs  on  anatomical  subjects.  His  death 
occurred  at  Brattleboro,  Vermont,  on  April  21,  1901,  after 
an  illness  of  several  months  which  was  largely  the  result  of 
ceaseless  devotion  to  his  profession.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  Methodist  Church. 

On  November  25,  1891,  he  married  Marian  L.  Turner, 
daughter  of  A.  M.  Turner,  cashier  of  the  Union  Mining 
Company  of  Mount  Savage,  Maryland.  Two  daughters 
were  born  to  him:  Marian,  on  May  13,  1896,  and  Dorothy, 
on  February  27,  1898. 

He  was  quiet  in  manner,  thoughtful  and  conscientious  in 
all  his  conduct.  Enthusiastically  devoted  to  his  professional 
work,  he  found  little  time  for  recreation,  yet  his  sense  of

humor  was  such  that  he  made  a  most  congenial  companion 
and  was  greatly  beloved  and  respected  by  all  who  knew  him. 


Nathaniel  Richardson  Bronson  is  the  son  of  Lu

Bronson  the  elder  was  a  Connecticut  merchant.     He 
born  on  April  20.   1S21,  at  Middlebury,  and  lived  sac 
sively  at  Watertown  (  1S40)  and  Waterbury     :     '

whence  — it  is  doubtful.  I  am  of  the  belief  that  both  can  be 
traced  to  England,  but  I  cannot  prove  it.  My  ancestor 
John  Bronson  was  one  of  the  original  eight  settlers  of 
Waterbury,  coming  from  Farmington."  Bronson's  mother 
was  born  on  September  27,  1823,  in  Norfolk,  Connecticut. 
She  lived  in  Norfolk  until  her  marriage,  and  died  in  Upper 
Montclair,  New  Jersey,  on  December  28,  1906.  Her  father 
was  Amos  Baldwin  of  Watertown  and  Norfolk,  Connecti- 
cut, and  her  mother  was  Elizabeth  Bryan  of  Prospect  and 
Waterbury. 

Bronson  was  born  on  July  3,  i860,  in  Waterbury,  Con- 
necticut, and  spent  his  early  days  there,  attending  the  public 
grade  and  high  schools  till  1875,  and  then  the  English  and 
Classical  for  three  more  years.  He  entered  our  class  at  the 
beginning  of  freshman  year,  and  for  the  first  year  roomed 
alone  on  Chapel  Street.  In  sophomore  year  he  had  a  room 
in  Farnam  with  Lowe,  in  junior  year  in  North  College  with 
W.  Anderson,  '84,  now  dead,  and  in  senior  year  in  Farnam 
with  Anderson  again.  He  indulged  in  athletic  sports,  such 
as  walking,  running,  baseball,  and  football. 

Bronson  received  an  LL.B.  from  the  Yale  Law  School 
in  1884,  and  he  has  confined  himself  closely  to  the  practice 
of  law  in  his  native  city  of  Waterbury.     He  writes : 

"In  January,  1885,  Mr.  George  E.  Terry,  one  of  the  old 
lawyers,  a  man  of  high  standing,  who  had  been  for  years 
associated  with  Kellogg's  father,  as  Kellogg  &  Terry,  but 
who  had  been  alone  then  for  four  years,  asked  me  to  come 
with  him,  which  I  did  with  great  suddenness  and  despatch. 
Mr.  Terry  behaved  himself  very  well,  and  I  took  him  into 
partnership  on  the  1st  of  July,  1888,  under  the  firm  name 
of  Terry  &  Bronson.  That  partnership  continued  until  the 
middle  of  January,  1901.  Mr.  Terry  meantime,  with  in- 
creasing age,  had  become  subject  to  certain  physical  infirmi- 
ties, and  under  his  doctor's  orders  he  stopped  short. 

"I  carried  on  the  business,  and  in  1906,  July  1,  took  into 


BIOGRAPHIES 

partnership  with  myself  Mr.  Lawrence  L.  Lewis,  who  had 
been  in  my  office  for  several  years  practising  law.  The  rela- 
tion then  assumed  still  continues,  and  I  hope  will. 

"My  practice  has  been  of  a  corporation  and  commercial 
nature,  and  I  have  been  also  largely  interested  in  real  estate 
practice.  Perhaps  I  do  more  corporation  work  than  any- 
thing else. 

"I  have  been  moderately  successful,  with  no  serious  set- 
backs. The  office  has  all  the  practice  that  it  can  well  attend 
to,  but  beyond  that  I  don't  know  that  it  is  necessary  or  worth 
while  to  say  further.  My  health  has  been  fairly  good,  by 
virtue  of  the  fact  that  I  have  taken  pretty  good  care  of  it, 
notwithstanding  the  fact  that  I  am  worked  about  to  the 
limit,  and  have  been  for  many  years. 

"Beyond  golf,  of  recent  years  I  have  had  no  regular  exer- 
cise except  in  the  saddle. 

"I  have  been  interested  for  two  years  back  in  the  promo- 
tion and  construction  of  a  street  railway,  fifteen  miles  across 
country.  It  will  be  finished  in  the  course  of  the  next  year, 
but  from  that  I  have  resigned  all  connection. 

"I  have  two  boys.  They  both  say  they  are  going  to  Yale, 
of  course.  The  younger  one,  aged  ten,  can  with  difficulty 
abide  the  sight  of  a  red  scarf." 

Bronson  belongs  to  the  Waterbury  Club,  the  Waterbury 
Golf  Club  (of  which  he  has  been  president),  the  Yale  Club 
of  New  York,  the  Waterbury  Republican  Club  (he  is  a  Re- 
publican), and  the  Waterbury  Bar  Association  (of  which  he 
is  treasurer) . 

Helen  Adams  Norton  became  Mrs.  Nathaniel  Richard- 
son Bronson  in  Brooklyn  on  March  26,  1889.  She  is  a 
daughter  of  Henry  Lott  Norton  and  Julia  Adams.  On  the 
father's  side  her  ancestors  were  New  Englanders,  on  the 
mother's  side  New  York  Dutch,  living  on  the  Hudson  River. 
She  had  one  uncle  who  was  graduated  at  Yale,  Wilfred 
Ernest  Norton.     The  two  boys  who  have  been  mentioned

brother,  the  Hon.  Wallace  Bruce,  Yale  1867,  and  roomed 
throughout  the  course  with  Lewis  in  North  Middle  and 
Durfee.  He  won  a  freshman  mathematical  prize,  composi- 
tion prizes  in  both  terms  of  sophomore  year,  and  at  the 
Junior  Exhibition  he  divided  the  first  prize  with  Storrs.  He 
was  an  editor  of  the  Lit  and  one  of  the  Townsend  speakers. 
His  societies  were  Gamma  Xu,  Eta  Phi,  Delta  Kappa  Epsi- 
lon,  Scroll  and  Key,  and  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 

The  year  after  graduation  he  was  connected  with  the 
Bryant  Literary  Union  of  New  York  City,  and  then  spent  a 
year  in  study  in  Germany  and  in  European  travel.  On  his 
return  from  abroad  he  taught  in  the  Albany  Academy  at 
Albany,  New  York,  and  thereafter  was  for  twenty-one  years 
instructor  in  modern  languages  in  Williston  Seminary.  He 
visited  Europe  repeatedly  during  that  time,  spending  sum- 
mers in  France,  Holland,  England,  Germany,  Switzerland, 
and  the  Austrian  Tyrol.  He  was  beloved  by  a  great  number 
who  were  students  in  his  classes  in  successive  years,  and  was 
much  esteemed  by  the  townspeople.  He  was  for  a  number 
of  years  warden  of  St.  Philip's  Protestant  Episcopal  Church. 
He  received  the  degree  of  M.A.  from  Yale  in  1888.  Bruce 
had  not  been  in  good  health  for  several  years,  and  died  of 
appendicitis  at  his  home  in  Easthampton  on  June  2,  1906,

On  April  3,  1883,  at  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  he  mar- 
ried Mary  Emily  Skinner,  daughter  of  Franklin  Skinner  and 
Eliza  Perry.  He  had  one  son,  Donald,  born  on  July  23,

favorite  brother  of  his  father,  a  young  man  of  very  bright

James  Alexander  Campbel 


Ireland,  to  which  place  the  family  had  removed  from  Scot- 
land. Campbell's  early  education  was  at  Washington  Uni- 
versity, St.  Louis,  where  he  held  a  high  place  in  his  class  and 
was  very  highly  regarded  by  his  instructors;  but  most  of  his 
education  was  under  the  personal  attention  of  his  mother, 
who  took  a  very  great  pride  in  all  his  work,  and  with  whom 
he  was  on  the  closest  terms  of  intimacy.  He  roomed  with 
French;  during  sophomore  year  in  South  Middle  and  during 
junior  and  senior  years  in  Durfee.  As  an  undergraduate 
he  was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa,  Eta  Phi,  Psi  Upsilon,  and 
Skull  and  Bones. 

He  remained  at  Yale  for  a  year  after  graduation,  study-

ing  in  the  Graduate  Department;  and  in  July,  1883,  he  went 
abroad  on  an  extended  tour,  from  which  he  returned  in  the 
spring  of  1885.  In  the  succeeding  autumn  he  entered  the 
Law  School  of  Harvard  University,  from  which  he  was  grad- 
uated in  1888.  After  this  he  went  abroad  again,  and  while 
living  in  Paris  with  his  brothers  had  a  very  severe  attack  of 
the  grippe  in  January,  1890.  This  was  followed  by  conges- 
tion of  the  lungs  and  pneumonia,  and  he  lingered  on  the 
verge  of  death  for  several  months.  He  then  rallied  a  little 
from  the  extreme  prostration,  but  only  to  experience  a  fatal 
relapse,  attended  with  great  suffering.  He  died  in  Paris  on 
July  I3>  189°- 

His  life  was  remarkable  for  its  modesty,  its  tenderness 
and  gentleness,  for  its  chivalry  and  integrity;  indeed,  for  all 
that  makes  the  true  gentleman.  Princely  generosity,  a  sym- 
pathetic heart,  painstaking  consideration  for  the  feelings  of 
others,  loyalty  to  truth,  and  self-sacrificing  fidelity  to  hard 
duties  — these  were  some  of  his  characteristics  that  won  for 
him  our  love  and  respect.

York  City  and  abroad,  and  died  In  Montclair,  New  Jersey, 
on  June  7,   1873.     His  wife  was  the  daughter  of  the  Rev. 


William  Churchill 


John  Starkweather  and  Mercy  Hubbard  of  Middletown, 
Connecticut,  born  on  January  1,  1835,  in  Bristol,  Rhode 
Island. 

Churchill  was  born  on  October  5,  1859,  in  Brooklyn,  and 
divided  his  youthful  days  between  that  city  and  Montclair, 
New  Jersey.  He  was  graduated  from  the  Montclair  High 
School  in  1877.  He  entered  Yale  with  the  class  of  '8i  and 
went  as  far  as  Christmas  of  sophomore  year,  but  had  to 
leave  college  on  account  of  grave  illness.  After  a  long  sea 
voyage  he  resumed  work  with  our  class  at  the  beginning 
of  sophomore  year.  Guernsey  was  his  roommate  while  he 
was  with  '81,  but  for  the  rest  of  his  course  he  roomed  by

himself  in  North  Middle.  He  contributed  to  the  Lit,  the 
Record,  and  the  Courant,  was  a  member  of  the  ivy  com- 
mittee at  graduation,  and  belonged  to  the  Yale  Society  of 
Natural  History. 

Churchill  has  made  a  reputation  for  himself  as  a  news- 
paper writer,  an  explorer,  and  a  linguist.  For  a  year  after 
graduation  he  taught  school  in  Indianapolis.  Then  he  went 
to  Australia  and  the  South  Sea  Islands.  Upon  his  return 
to  America  he  entered  journalism  in  San  Francisco.  For 
two  years  he  was  librarian  in  the  Academy  of  Sciences  in 
that  city,  and  while  holding  that  position  he  delivered  a 
course  of  lectures  on  the  people  of  the  South  Pacific,  their 
languages,  customs,  etc.  He  then  came  East  and  contrib- 
uted to  various  magazines.  For  a  time  he  was  in  the  Signal 
Service  Bureau  in  Washington.  In  1891  he  became  an  edi- 
tor of  the  Brooklyn  Times,  occupying  that  position  until 
June,  1896,  when  President  Cleveland  appointed  him  con- 
sul-general to  Samoa.  When  President  McKinley  appointed 
his  successor  in  1898,  he  returned  to  this  country.  He  is  the 
author  of  "A  Princess  of  Fiji"  (Dodd,  Mead  &  Co.,  1892), 
many  scientific  documents  for  the  government,  magazine 
articles  and  reviews,  as  well  as  a  great  quantity  of  edi- 
torials. At  present  he  is  engaged  on  the  New  York  Sun. 
Philology  had  always  attracted  Churchill.  His  pursuit  of 
it  led  to  a  wild  life  among  wild  men  in  remote  savagery,  but 
in  the  end  he  worked  out  a  comprehension  of  the  method 
of  isolating  speech  that  is  being  received  with  interest. 
Without  going  into  the  intimate  details,  his  discovery 
amounts  to  "the  dissection  of  the  hitherto  irreducible  root, 
the  segregation  of  the  elemental  sense  of  the  few  simple 
vowel  sounds  which  have  come  to  us  from  the  animal  cry, 
and  the  analysis  of  the  discriminative  selection  of  the  co- 
efficient value  of  the  consonantal  modulants  whereby  the 
earliest  type  of  man  acquired  a  language."  In  prosecuting 
this  research  Churchill  mastered  about  a  hundred  languages

of  the  Pacific  Ocean  and  Malay  seas,  collected  a  large  mass 
of  cosmopoietic  myth  from  old  savages,  and  prepared  on 
the  lines  of  comparative  philology  a  dictionary  of  the 
Samoan  language.  His  results  are  appearing  at  short  in- 
tervals in  philological  journals  and  transactions  of  learned 
societies.  The  grammar  of  the  Samoan  language  on  which 
he  is  now  engaged  is  to  present  proofs  as  to  the  beginning 
of  human  speech,  and  competent  authorities  here  and  abroad 
have  said  that  he  is  about  to  contribute  to  philology  a  dis- 
covery as  epochal  as  was  the  discovery  of  Sanskrit  and 
the  work  of  Whitney  and  Max  Miiller.  He  is  active  in  the 
Polynesian  Society  of  New  Zealand.  His  travels  extended 
to  every  continent,  but  in  the  South  Seas  and  Malaysia  he 
has  been  an  explorer  and  has  been  able  to  add  to  the  maps. 

On  August  14,  1899,  m  New  York  City,  he  married  Llew- 
ella  Pierce,  daughter  of  Llewellyn  Pierce  and  Catherine 
Spillane,  and  a  relative  of  Franklin  Pierce,  a  graduate  of 
Bowdoin. 

His  business  address  is  the  Sioi,  170  Nassau  Street,  New 
York  City,  and  his  residence  is  Fale'ula,  1874  East  Twelfth 
Street,  Brooklyn,  New  York. 


Stephen  Merrell  Clement  is  the  son  of  Stephen  Mal- 
lory  Clement  and  Sarah  Elizabeth  (Leonard)  Clement. 
Stephen  Mallory  Clement  was  born  on  February  26,  1825, 
in  Manlius,  Onondaga  County,  New  York.  He  was  the 
son  of  Frederick  Clement  and  Olive  Mallory.  The  Clement 
family  is  of  English  origin,  coming  from  Coventry  in  the 
early  days  and  settling  in  New  England.  On  the  maternal 
side  Clement's  ancestors  wTere  also  English,  settling  in 
Massachusetts.  Two  of  the  descendants,  David  H.  Leonard 
and  Anna  Merrell,  lived  in  Dewitt,  New  York,  in  the  early 
part  of  the  last  century,  and  on  September  12,  1824,  had  a

Buffalo,  and  her  husband  followed  her  in  the  next  year,  Sep-

tember  29,  1892.  During  most  of  his  life  the  latter  was  a 
banker.  Clement's  great-grandfather,  Captain  Caleb  Mer- 
rell of  Great  Barrington,  Massachusetts,  took  part  in  the 
battles  of  Bennington,  Saratoga,  and  Stillwater.  His  great- 
great-grandfather,  Colonel  Giles  Jackson  of  Tyringham, 
Massachusetts,  was  the  chief  of  General  Gates'  staff,  and 
drew  up  the  so-called  "Convention  of  Saratoga,"  under 
which  Burgoyne  surrendered. 

Born  on  November  4,  1859,  at  Fredonia,  Chautauqua 
County,  New  York,  Clement  moved  with  his  parents  to 
Buffalo  in  1870,  and  entered  the  Buffalo  public  schools. 
Seven  years  in  the  State  Normal  School  there  fitted  him  for

ation, has  been  a  member  of  the  Bicentennial  committee  on 
funds,  of  the  committee  on  restoration  of  South  Middle, 
and  of  the  Yale  Alumni  Advisory  Board. 

The  son  of  a  banker  and  himself  one  of  the  most  promi- 
nent financiers  in  Buffalo,  Clement  has  made  a  shining  mark 
for  himself  and  '82  in  the  business  world.  The  first  thing 
he  did  after  commencement  was  to  go  abroad  with  several 
other  members  of  our  class,  and  travel  for  nine  months 
through  Europe  and  the  Orient.  On  his  return,  in  April, 
1883,  he  entered  the  Marine  Bank  of  Buffalo,  was  appointed 
assistant  cashier  in  December,  1883,  was  elected  cashier  in 
December,  1884,  and  held  that  position  until  March,  1895, 
when  he  was  elected  president  of  the  bank,  which  position  he 
now  holds.  Since  his  election  as  president  the  institution 
has  been  reorganized  as  a  national  bank  and  has  grown  to 
be  the  largest  bank  of  discount  in  the  State  outside  of  New 
York  City.  He  was  a  member  of  the  committee  of  three 
that  organized  the  Buffalo  clearing-house  in  1889,  and  has 
been  chairman  of  the  clearing-house  committee  since  1892. 
He  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Power  City  Bank  at 
Niagara  Falls,  and  has  been  a  director  since  its  incorpora-

pressure  of  work  forced  him  to  resign  it.  On  the  14th  of 
November,  1895,  he  was  appointed  consulting  gynecologist 
to  the  New  York  Infirmary  for  Women  and  Children,  and 
on  January  22,  1896,  consulting  obstetric  surgeon  to  the

been  officially  connected  with  the  College  of  Physicians  and 
Surgeons,  Medical  Department  of  Columbia  University, 
since  December  18,  1893,  when  he  was  appointed  assistant 
secretary  of  the  faculty.  He  became  secretary  July  1,  1895. 
In  April,  1898,  he  was  elected  to  the  chair  of  obstetrics  in 
the  college,  with  the  title  of  lecturer  in  obstetrics,  to  fill  the 
vacancy  caused  by  the  resignation  of  Dr.  McLane.  At

Physicians  and  Surgeons  for  one  year  from  July  1,  1903. 
He  was  made  professor  of  gynecology  from  July  1,  1904, 
since  which  time  he  has  held  both  the  chairs  of  obstetrics

Yale  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  degree  of  Master  of 
Arts.  He  is  a  Republican  in  politics,  and  a  member  of  the 
University  Club.    He  writes  : 

"I  have  to  plead  guilty  to  what  you  have  found  out  con- 
cerning my  actions,  viz.,  giving  a  library  to  Colchester,  Con- 
necticut; being  a  Presbyterian  elder;  being  a  supporter  of 
foreign  missions;  and  being  chairman  of  the  advisory  board 
of  the  Students'  Club  (College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons) . 
It  seems  to  me  immodest  to  speak  of  it,  however,  and  I  guess 
the  least  said  the  better."

where  he  has  spent  most  of  his  life,  and  is  still  living  as  a 
practising  lawyer.  He  was  graduated  from  the  University 
of  Georgia  in  1854  and  from  the  Harvard  Law  School  in

Connecticut,  and  spent  her  early  life  in  New  York  City. 
Her  family  was  of  English  origin,  her  ancestors  coming  to 
this  country  in  1645  an<^  settling  at  Fairfield,  Connecticut. 
Many  of  Cumming's  ancestors  and  near  kinsmen  have  held 
important  public  positions  as  city  mayors,  territorial  gov- 
ernors, etc.  One  of  his  ancestors  was  graduated  from  Yale, 
another  from  the  University  ol  Georgia,  and  a  third  from 
West  Point. 

Cumming  was  born  on  January  4,  1862,  at  Summerville, 
Richmond  County,  Georgia,  and  resided  there  before  enter- 
ing college.  He  was  prepared  at  private  schools,  and  en- 
tered '82  at  the  beginning  of  freshman  year.  He  roomed 
at  first  alone,  but  afterward  with  Cragin,  during  sophomore 
year  in  Old  Chapel,  and  thereafter  in  Farnam.  While  an 
undergraduate  he  took  a  prize  in  French. 

After  graduation  he  spent  the  summer  holidays  at  Xarra- 
gansett  Pier,  and  then  returned  to  Augusta  and  entered  upon 
the  study  of  law  in  his  father's  office.  He  was  admitted  to 
practice  in  January,  1884,  and  since  that  time  he  has  been 
actively  engaged  in  professional  work.     He  writes: 

"I  took  a  small  excursion  into  politics  during  a  period 
covering  five  or  six  years,  serving  respectively  as  one  of  the 
governing  body  of  the  suburban  village  in  which  I  reside, 
known  as  Summerville,  and  for  a  while  as  its  executive 
officer.  For  two  years  I  was  a  member  of  the  lower  house 
of  the  Georgia  Assembly,  and  for  two  years  was  a  member 
of  the  Georgia  Senate.  While  this  political  experience  was 
most  interesting  and  useful,  it  had  no  great  allurements  for 
me,  and  I  have  made  no  further  effort  to  fill  any  public 
offices.  There  have  been  no  special  incidents  connected  with 
my  life.  There  has  been  simply  the  usual  routine  of  an 
active  practising  attorney,  interspersed  with  a  fair  amount 
of  quiet  pleasure-taking." 

From  other  sources  it  is  learned  that  Cumming's  profes- 
sional standing  is  very  high,  both  from  the  standpoint  of

character  and  ability.  He  has  been  in  partnership  with  his 
father  for  a  long  time,  and  has  represented  the  Georgia 
Railroad  for  years.  In  politics  Cumming  is  a  Democrat, 
and  is  a  member  of  the  Richmond  Hussars.  He  is  one  of 
the  governing  board  of  the  Country  Club  of  Augusta,  and 
a  member  of  the  Commercial  Club  of  Augusta  and  of  vari- 
ous social  organizations. 

He  married  on  November  27,  1889,  at  Summerville, 
Georgia,  Mary  G.  Smith,  the  daughter  of  Charles  Shaler 
Smith  and  Mary  G.  Gardner.  Mrs.  Cumming's  family  is 
of  English  origin.  They  have  two  children,  one  boy  and 
one  girl. 

His  address  is  204  Montgomery  Building,  Augusta, 
Georgia. 


*  George  Edward  Curtis  was  the  son  of  George  S.  Curtis 
and  Catherine  Lewis  (Curtis)  Curtis.  His  father  was  born 
on  August  26,  1833,  at  Nichols,  Connecticut,  and  spent  most 
of  his  life  at  Derby,  Connecticut,  in  the  hardware  business. 
He  died  on  September  27,  1862,  at  Derby.  He  was  the  son 
of  Alvin  Curtis  of  Nichols,  Connecticut,  and  Dolly  Blake- 
man  of  Orinoque,  Stratford,  Connecticut.  His  ancestors 
were  of  English  origin,  and  came  to  this  country  from  Eng- 
land in  1637  and  settled  at  Stratford.  Curtis'  mother  was 
born  on  July  27,  1834,  at  Stratford,  and  spent  her  early  life 
there.  She  was  the  daughter  of  Cornelius  Agur  Curtis  and 
Phoebe  Lewis,  both  of  that  city.  Her  family,  too,  was  of 
English  origin  and  came  from  England  to  settle  in  Stratford. 
Curtis  was  born  on  July  8,  1861,  at  Derby,  Connecticut, 
and  spent  his  life  there  until  he  entered  college.  He  at- 
tended the  Birmingham  Public  School  and  High  School,  and 
was  graduated  in  1877.  He  spent  one  year  as  a  clerk  before 
entering  college.  Curtis  was  an  only  child.  His  father  died 
when  he  was  but  fifteen  months  old,  but  his  mother  sympa-

thized  with  his  ambitions  and  encouraged  him  In  their  at- 
tainment. Early  in  life  he  cherished  the  desire  and  hope  of 
a  career  at  Yale,  and  from  his  twelfth  year  steadily  bent  his 


George  Edward  Curtis 


energies  to  accomplish  that  ambition.  His  own  efforts  and 
his  mother's  self-denial  enabled  him  to  enter  our  class  in 
1878  well  prepared.  He  roomed  the  first  year  on  Howe 
Street,  the  second  in  South  Middle,  and  the  last  two  with 
Titche  in  Farnam.  At  college  he  was  a  faithful  student,  and 
ranked  well  in  all  his  work,  but  especially  excelled  in  mathe- 
matics, in  which  he  took  a  prize  in  senior  year.  He  was  a 
member  of  Gamma  Nu. 

For  a  few  months  after  receiving  his  degree  he  remained 
at  his  home  in  Birmingham,  Connecticut,  prosecuting  his 
studies  in  his  chosen  work  of  mathematics.  In  1883  he  re- 
ceived an  appointment  under  the  chief  signal  officer  in  the

Weather  Bureau  at  Washington.  He  continued  his  work  in 
meteorology  and  atmospheric  physics  until  1887,  when  he 
accepted  the  professorship  of  mathematics  in  Washburn 
College,  Topeka,  Kansas.  Subsequently  he  was  connected 
with  the  Smithsonian  Institution  at  Washington.  His  health 
forced  him  to  move  to  Arizona,  which  he  had  already  visited 
in  the  employ  of  the  government,  preparing  a  geological 
survey,  and  again  as  meteorologist  of  the  Dyrenforth  rain- 
making  expedition.  His  health  continued  to  fail,  and  in 
1895  he  returned  to  Washington,  where  he  died  in  January 
of  that  year. 

He  received  the  degree  of  M.A.  from  Yale  in  June,  1887. 
He  was  an  active  member  of  the  Philosophical  Society  of 
Washington,  District  of  Columbia,  and  wrote  a  number  of 
articles  on  scientific  subjects.  Numerous  articles  by  him  re- 
lating to  meteorology  have  been  published  by  the  Signal 
Office,  the  American  Journal  of  Science,  the  American 
Meteorological  Journal,  and  other  scientific  periodicals.  In 
1893  he  edited  a  book  entitled  "Smithsonian  Meteorological 
Tables,"  and  the  Century  Company  paid  a  high  tribute  to 
his  attainments  by  engaging  him  to  write  the  definitions  of 
the  meteorological  terms  in  all  but  the  first  volume  of  the 
Century  Dictionary.  Short  as  was  his  career  (he  was  but 
thirty-three  years  of  age  when  he  died),  his  achievements 
were  considerable  and  gave  great  promise  of  distinction.

After  graduation  he  traveled  abroad  for  six  months,  and 
returned  late  in  the  fall  of  1882.  He  began  the  study  of 
law  under  his  brother  (Yale  1874),  and  was  earnestly  pur- 
suing his  studies  at  the  time  of  his  death,  which  occurred  at 
his  residence  in  Philadelphia  on  January  1,  1883,  from  an 
attack    of    scarlet    fever,    after    an    illness    of    three    days.

Stricken  down  so  suddenly  while  in  the  enjoyment  of  perfect 
health  and  strength,  his  death  came  as  a  great  shock  to  all 
his  friends.  He  was  one  of  the  most  conspicuous  figures  in 
our  class  both  in  athletics  and  socially,  and  he  was  the  first, 
after  graduation,  to  be  taken  from  us.  A  tablet  in  his 
memory  has  been  placed  by  some  of  his  classmates  in  the

for  another  fifteen  in  New  York  City.  He  was  a  wholesale 
importer  of  coffee,  and  died  on  February  24,  1877.  His 
parents  were  Richard  Ely  and  Mary  Peck  of  Lyme,  Con- 
necticut. His  family  was  of  English  origin,  and  his  ances- 
tors came  to  this  country  from  England  in  1628  and  settled 
at  Lyme,  where  they  owned  and  lived  on  the  same  premises 
from  1628  to  1850.  Ely's  mother  was  born  in  Massillon, 
Ohio,  and  died  in  New  York  City.  She  was  the  daughter 
of  James  Duncan  of  Portsmouth,  New  Hampshire,  and

and  settled  in  Portsmouth  and  Virginia. 

Ely  was  born  on  August  12,  1859,  in  Chicago,  Illinois. 
He  lived  in  Chicago  until  1866,  and  then  in  New  York  City.

1866  to  1 87 1,  Auction's  School  till  1873,  Williston  Semi- 
nary in  1874  and  part  of  1875,  was  in  Europe  till  the  latter 
part  of  1875,  and  attended  the  Signers'  School  till  1877. 
He  entered  Yale  in  that  year  with  the  class  of  '8 1,  but  joined 
'82  at  the  beginning  of  junior  year.  He  rowed  on  the  Dun- 
ham crew,  and  was  a  member  of  Sigma  Epsilon,  Alpha 
Kappa,  and  Psi  Upsilon. 

After  graduation  he  entered  the  Columbia  Law  School 
in  the  class  of  1884.  During  that  time  he  studied  in  the 
office  of  the  firm  of  Dunning,  Edsall,  Hart  &  Fowler,  67 
Wall  Street,  New  York  City.  From  May,  1884,  until 
August  12,  1885,  he  served  a  clerkship  in  the  office  of  Roger 
Foster,  Yale  '78.  In  December,  1885,  he  was  admitted  to 
the  New  York  bar,  and  on  January  1,  1886,  he  opened  an 
office  for  the  general  practice  of  the  law,  and  he  has  since 
been  actively  engaged  in  his  profession.  He  has  taken  some 
interest  in  politics,  having  belonged  to  the  old  County  De- 
mocracy and  subsequently  to  its  successor,  the  State  Democ- 
racy. Later  he  was  a  member  of  the  National  Democratic 
party,  in  which  he  was  on  the  executive  committee  of  the 
County  Organization.  In  April,  1895,  he  was  appointed 
assistant  United  States  attorney  and  served  until  February, 
1898,  when  his  resignation,  tendered  in  December,  1897, 
was  accepted.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  Syracuse  Conven- 
tion of  the  National  Democratic  party  in  1905,  and  he  was

William  Phelps  Eno  is  the  son  of  Amos  Richards  Eno 
and  Lucy  Jane  (Phelps)  Eno.  Amos  Richards  Eno's  an- 
cestors went  from  Valenciennes,  France,  to  London  in  1569, 
thence  to  Windsor,  Connecticut,  in  1648,  and  soon  after- 
ward to  Simsbury,  Connecticut,  where  he  was  born  on  No- 
vember 1,  1 8 10.  Early  in  life  he  moved  to  New  York  and 
was  known  as  a  successful  dry-goods  merchant  and  real 
estate  owner.  He  died  in  New  York  on  February  21,  1898. 
His  father  was  Solomon  Eno.  His  grandfather,  Jonathan 
Eno,  served  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  as  also  did  his  great- 
uncle,  Major-General  Roger  Eno.  The  name  in  France 
was  spelled  in  various  ways,  namely,  Henne,  Hennet,  Hai- 
nau,  and  Hainault.     In  England  and  America  it  has  been

spelled  at  different  times  Enno,  Enos,  and  Eno.  The  ances- 
tors of  Eno's  mother  came  from  Tewkesbury,  England,  in 
1630,  settled  in  Dorchester,  Massachusetts,  thence  went  to 


William  Phelps  Eno 


Windsor,  Connecticut,  and  finally  to  Simsbury,  Connecticut, 
where  she  was  born  on  March  1,  1818.  She  died  in  New 
York  on  November  14,  1882.  Her  father  was  Elisha 
Phelps,  of  Yale  1800,  and  her  grandfather  was  Major- 
General  Noah  Phelps,  whose  reconnaissance  of  Fort  Ticon- 
deroga  was  followed  by  its  capture.  Her  fifth  great-grand- 
father was  the  Rev.  Garsham  Bulkley,  of  Harvard  1655, 
and  her  sixth  great-grandfather  was  Charles  Chauncey,  sec- 
ond president  of  Harvard  College. 

Eno  was  born  in  New  York  on  June  3,  1858.  He  went 
to  school  in  Paris  and  St.  Germain  in  1868-69.  He  at- 
tended a  number  of  schools  in  New  York  City,  one  in  New- 


BIOGRAPHIES 

burgh,  New  York,  Williston  Seminary  in  Easthampton, 
Massachusetts,  and  the  Hopkins  Grammar  School  in  New 
Haven.  He  entered  the  class  of  1 88  i  at  Yale  with  seven 
conditions  which  he  passed  oft,  but  voluntarily  withdrew  his 
papers  and  joined  the  class  of  1882  the  following  Septem- 
ber. He  was  a  member  of  the  class  crew,  of  the  freshman 
class  supper  committee,  floor  manager  of  the  junior  prome- 
nade, leader  and  manager  of  the  junior  and  senior  germans, 
and  gave  considerable  time  to  the  reorganization  of  the 
Yale  University  Club.  He  was  taken  ill  with  scarlet  fever 
just  after  the  junior  promenade  and  was  out  of  college  until 
May,  when  he  returned  and  finished  the  year  with  his  class, 
but  did  not  return  to  college  in  senior  year.  He  was  a 
member  of  Delta  Kappa,  He  Boule,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon, 
and  Skull  and  Bones. 

In  1 88 1  he  entered  a  New  York  bank  to  learn  the  busi- 
ness. From  1884  to  1898  he  spent  much  of  his  time  in  his 
father's  office,  where  he  had  unusual  opportunities  to  gain  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  real  estate  in  all  its  branches.  About 
ten  years  after  leaving  college  in  1881  the  faculty  sent  Eno 
his  degree  of  A.B.,  with  enrolment  in  the  class  of  1882,  in 
response  to  a  petition  signed  by  most  of  his  classmates. 
About  1900  he  received  permission  to  erect  an  exact  repro- 
duction of  the  old  fence  within  the  campus,  to  make  up,  as 
far  as  possible,  for  the  irreparable  loss  of  the  original  fence, 
which  had  been  removed  to  permit  the  erection  of  Osborn 
Hall,  and  at  the  same  time  he  provided  a  fund  for  new 
walks  and  other  improvements  on  the  campus.  On  the 
founding  of  the  Yale  Club  in  New  York,  Eno  was  elected 
to  the  council  and  intrusted  with  the  adaptation  of  the  first 
club-house.  He  was  on  the  council  for  several  years,  was 
engaged  on  the  financial  plan  that  led  to  the  new  club-house 
on  Forty-fourth  Street,  and  was  chairman  of  the  building 
committee.  The  club-house  was  completed  for  the  amount 
of  the  appropriation  and  within  the  promised  time.     He  has

been  present  at  the  Yale-Harvard  boat  races  at  New  Lon- 
don for  the  past  ten  years,  where  his  yacht  Aquilo  has  acted 
as  judges'  boat.     On  the  death  of  his  father,  in  1898,  he  be- 
came one  of  the  executors  of  his  estate,  which  took  three 
years  to  settle.     He  is  largely  interested  in  real  estate,  but 
for  the  past  few  years  has  not  been  active  in  business  mat- 
ters, having  devoted  practically  all  his  time  to  introducing 
and  perfecting  street  traffic  regulation  in  New  York  and 
other  cities.     He  took  the  London  practice  of  regulating 
traffic  on  the  streets  as  a  basis  to  start  with,  and  introduced 
such  extra  or  new  things  as  seemed  necessary  to  perfect  the 
system.    The  rules  now  officially  adopted  in  New  York  and 
partially  or  wholly  in  almost  every  city  in  the  United  States 
were  compiled  by  him.     In  the  autumn  of  1909  he  went  to 
London  and  to  Paris  to  study  street  traffic  in  both  places. 
As  one  result,  the  authorities  in  London  have  signified  their 
intention  of  adopting  some  of  the  New  York  regulations  in 
the  near  future,  and  as  another,  the  prefet  of  police  of  Paris, 
on  December  1  last,  put  the  New  York  regulations  in  opera- 
tion on  the  Rue  de  la  Paix  and  has  since  extended  them  to 
many  other  streets,   and  the  New  York  regulations  have 
become  the  standing  ones  of  the  city  of  Paris.     He  has 
written  many  articles  and  pamphlets  on  street  traffic  regula- 
tion, civic  transportation,   and  kindred  subjects.     In  Sep- 
tember, 1909,  he  published  a  book  entitled  "Street  Traffic 
Regulations."     It  has  been  given  large  circulation  here  and 
in  Europe  and  is  the  only  book  on  the  subject.    Eno  belongs 
to  the  following  clubs:  Metropolitan,  Cosmos,  University, 
and  Chevy  Chase  of  Washington;  University,  Yale,  City, 
New  York  Yacht,    and   Seawanhaka-Corinthian   Yacht   of 
New  York;  Boston  of  New  Orleans,  and  Quinnipiack  and 
Graduates'  of  New  Haven. 

On  April  4,  1883,  in  New  Orleans,  he  married  Alice 
Rathbone,  daughter  of  Henry  Alenson  Rathbone,  born  in 
Hartford,  Connecticut,  of  English  descent,  and  Marie  Ce-

origin,  and  located  at  Wethersfield,  of  which  Foote's  ances- 
tor was  one  of  the  first  settlers  and  where  he  died  in  1664. 
His  mother's  family  was  also  of  English  ancestry,  coming  to 
this  country  in  1660  and  settling  at  Madison,  Connecticut. 
One  of  Foote's  ancestors  was  a  tutor  and  fellow  of  Yale  in 
the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century,  and  was  secretary  of 
the  corporation  from  1770  to  1776. 

Foote  was  born  on  January  10,  1859,  at  New  Haven, 
Connecticut,  where  he  attended  the  New  Haven  High 
School,  entering  '82  in  September,  1878.  While  in  college 
he  took  the  Berkeley  prize  for  Latin  composition,  a  subject 
in  which  he  early- displayed  ability,  and  the  teaching  of  which 
he  has  made  his  life-work. 

After  graduation  he  taught  school  for  a  number  of  years 
in  Portland,  Oregon,  and  from  1884  to  1886  he  held  the 
Larned  scholarship,  taking  a  post-graduate  course  at  Yale,

eight  years  he  was  in  charge  of  the  Latin  School  at  Atchi- 
son, Kansas,  but  in  1901  came  to  New  York  and  took  the 
examination  for  teachers  of  Latin  in  the  high  schools  of 
that  city.  The  result  of  the  examination  was  evidence  of 
his  exceptional  fitness  for  his  work,  as  he  was  third  in  rank 
on  the  list  of  those  passing.  In  1902  he  was  appointed  in- 
structor in  Latin  at  the  De  Witt  Clinton  High  School,  a 
position  which  he  still  retains,  having  also  taught  French 
and  Greek  at  intervals.

Burnside  Foster 


The  Fosters  came  to  this  country  in  1638  and  settled  at  Ips- 
wich, Massachusetts.  Alfred  Dwight  Foster,  the  grand- 
father of  our  classmate,  lived  in  Worcester  and  married 
Lydia  Styles.  Dwight  Foster,  the  father  of  Burnside,  was  a 
judge  of  the  Massachusetts  Supreme  Court,  and  spent  most 
of  his  life  in  Worcester  and  Boston.  He  was  born  in 
Worcester  on  December  13,  1828,  and  died  in  Boston  in  1884. 
He  was  valedictorian  of  his  class  at  Yale  (1848)  and  held 
the  degree  of  LL.D.  His  wife  was  the  daughter  of  Roger 
Sherman  Baldwin  of  New  Haven,  one  time  governor  of 
Connecticut,  and  Emily  Perkins  of  Hartford,  Connecticut. 
She  was  born  on  April  2,  1830,  in  New  Haven. 


BIOGRAPHIES 

Foster  was  born  on  May  7,  1861,  in  Worcester,  Massa- 
chusetts, and  passed  his  boyhood  in  that  city  and  Boston, 
attending  the  Boston  Latin  School,  Hopkinson's  Private 
School  in  Boston,  and  Phillips  Academy,  Andover,  Massa- 
chusetts. He  entered  Yale  with  the  class,  roomed  with 
Vought  in  sophomore  year,  and  with  Osborne  in  junior  and 
senior  years,  was  champion  high  kicker  of  the  class,  contrib- 
uted occasionally  to  the  Lit,  and  belonged  to  Delta  Kappa, 
He  Boule,  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

After  graduation  he  studied  for  three  years  in  the  Har- 
vard Medical  School,  became  an  M.D.  in  June,  1885,  with 
the  highest  hospital  appointment  in  the  class,  and  began  on 
August  1,  1885,  an  eighteen  months'  service  in  the  Massa- 
chusetts General  Hospital,  Boston.    On  leaving  the  hospital 
in  February,    1887,  he  went  to  Europe  and  spent  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year  studying  in  Vienna  and  Dublin.     For 
the  twenty  and  more  years  which  have  intervened  since  that 
time,  he  has  been  practising  in  St.  Paul,  varying  the  routine 
of  his  work  by  professional  and  editorial  duties.      He   is 
professor  of  dermatology  and  lecturer  on  the  history  of 
medicine  at  the  University  of  Minnesota,  and  editor  of  the 
St.  Paul  Medical  Journal.     He  has  published  his  lectures 
("A  Course  of  Lectures  on  the  History  of  Medicine  and 
of  the    Medical   Profession"),    and   is   the    author   of   nu- 
merous articles  for  medical  journals.     He  has  been  presi- 
dent of  the  Ramsey  County  Medical  Society,  and  is  likewise 
a   member   of  the   Minnesota   State   Medical   Society,   the 
American  Medical  Association,  the  American  Dermatologi- 
cal  Association,  the  Minnesota  Club  of  St.  Paul,  and  the 
Town  and  Country  Club  of  the  same  city.    For  two  years  he 
was  a  member  of  the  St.  Paul  Library  Board.     In  the  sum- 
mer of  1896  Foster  had  a  desperate  encounter  with  some 
highwaymen  at  Wyoming,  Minnesota,  when  he  was  hasten- 
ing from  St.  Paul  to  join  his  wife  near  that  place  in  response 
to  a  telegram.     Two  men  were  killed  in  the   fracas,   and

Foster  himself  was  beaten  into  insensibility.  Bob  Wilson, 
the  assassin,  was  killed  by  a  posse  of  citizens  and  officers, 
and  his  two  accomplices  were  captured.  In  April,  1909, 
Foster  delivered,  by  invitation,  an  address  before  the  Asso- 
ciation of  Life-Insurance  Presidents,  of  New  York  City, 
entitled  "A  Suggestion  Concerning  the  Increased  Longevity 
of  Life-Insurance  Policy-Holders."  In  this  address,  which 
attracted  wide  attention  not  only  among  life-insurance  men 
but  in  the  newspaper  press  all  over  the  country,  he  made  a 
strong  plea  for  enlisting  the  powerful  organizations  of  life- 
insurance  companies  in  the  cause  of  preventive  medicine, 
urging  that  anything  which  contributed  to  human  longevity 
would  be  of  financial  advantage  to  the  business  of  life- 
insurance.  Several  of  the  suggestions  made  in  this  ad- 
dress have  already  been  adopted  by  some  of  the  life-insur- 
ance companies. 

On  January  1,  1894,  Foster  married  Sophie  Vernon 
Hammond,  daughter  of  John  Henry  Hammond,  a  general 
in  the  Union  army,  and  Sophie  Wolfe,  of  English  and  Hu- 
guenot ancestry.  There  are  three  children:  Harriet  Burn- 
side,  born  on  February  3,  1895  ;  Elizabeth  Hammond,  born 
on  March  5,  1899;  and  Roger  Sherman,  born  on  December 
13,  1901,  all  in  St.  Paul.  "My  life  has  been  comfortable 
and  happy,"  writes  their  father,  "and  I  have  been  fairly 
successful  in  my  profession." 

His  business  address  is  Lowry  Arcade,  and  his  residence 
is  117  Farrington  Avenue,  St.  Paul,  Minnesota.

School  in  1876.  After  that  he  had  a  year  at  Adams  Acad- 
emy, Quincy,  Massachusetts,  and  another  year  at  Thayer 
Academy,  Braintree.  In  freshman  year  French  roomed 
alone  on  York  Street,  in  sophomore  year  in  South  Middle 
with  Campbell,  and  in  junior  and  senior  years  with  Camp- 
bell in  Durfee.  He  was  a  contributor  to  the  Record  in 
sophomore  year,  and  in  junior  and  senior  years  one  of  the 
editors.  He  was  on  the  freshman  class  supper  committee, 
fence  orator  in  sophomore  year,  chairman  of  the  junior 
promenade  committee,  and  one  of  the  class  historians.  He 
won  the  sophomore  prize  declamation.  He  belonged  to 
Kappa  Sigma  Epsilon,  Eta  Phi,  Psi  Upsilon,  and  Skull  and

For  the  first  five  years  after  graduation  he  taught  Latin 
and  French  at  the  Thayer  Academy,  Braintree,  Massachu- 
setts. He  then  studied  law  at  the  Boston  University  Law 
School,  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  went  to  Washington  as 
clerk  to  the  judges  of  the  court  of  Alabama  claims  for  one

nominated  by  both  Republicans  and  Democrats  in  1901, 
and  was  elected  district  attorney  for  the  Southeastern  Dis- 
trict of  Massachusetts.  Reelected  as  the  candidate  of  both

signed to  accept  the  appointment,  tendered  him  by  President 
Roosevelt,  of  United  States  attorney  for  the  District  of 
Massachusetts,  which  office  he  now  holds. 

He  has  gained  for  himself  an  enviable  reputation  as  an 
advocate  on  account  of  his  remarkable  management,  in  asso- 
ciation with  the  Hon.  James  E.  Cotter,  his  senior,  of  the 
defense  of  Thomas  M.  Bram,  mate  of  the  barkentine  Her- 
bert Fuller,  tried  for  murder  on  the  high  seas  in  October, 
1896,  and  argued  on  error  before  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  United  States,  where  the  judgment  of  the  Circuit  Court 
against  Bram  was  reversed.  This  was  his  first  celebrated 
case    and    brought    him    into    national    prominence.     The

strength  of  his  power  to  convince  jurors  was  later  illus- 
trated when  he  secured  the  acquittal  of  Joseph  E.  Seery, 
indicted  for  murder  in  December,  1899,  in  Norfolk 
County,  Massachusetts.  He  has  also  figured  in  many  im- 
portant civil  cases,  and,  several  years  ago,  won  additional 
prominence  by  his  able  presentation  of  the  cause  of  the  anti- 
vivisectionists  before  the  Committee  on  Probate  Chancery 
of  the  Massachusetts  Legislature.  This  service  was  rendered 
for  practically  no  remuneration,  and  as  a  contribution  to 
the  cause  of  humanity. 

He  is  president  of  the  Randolph  Savings  Bank,  of  the 
Norfolk  Bar  Association,  a  member  of  the  executive  com- 
mittee of  the  Massachusetts  State  Bar  Association,  a  trustee

W.  Biddle,  at  Philadelphia,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in 
December,  1884.     On  January  1,  1885,  he  became  a  mem- 


Harrv  Chambers  Fries 


ber  of  the  firm  of  Prevost  &  Fries,  attorneys-at-law,  629 
Walnut  Street,  Philadelphia.  He  practised  as  a  member  of 
that  firm  until  his  death,  which  occurred  July  14,  1886.  For 
some  three  months  he  had  been  in  uncertain  health,  and  five 
weeks  before  his  death  he  suffered— without  premonition— 
from  a  hemorrhage  of  the  lungs. 

He  was  of  a  quiet,  earnest  disposition,  commanding  the 
respect  of  all  and  the  love  of  those  who  knew  him  best.  His 
strength  of  character  and  his  natural  abilities  were  such  that, 
had  they  been  coupled  with  a  strong  physique,  he  would 
surely  have  attained  a  position  in  the  world  that  would  have 
been  an  honor  to  the  class.

Henry  Washburn  Garde* 


move  from  New  Orleans  took  place  when  Gardes  was  six 
years  old.  His  mother  had  died  suddenly  of  yellow  fever 
on  November  14,  1866,  and  her  parents  in  Jefferson 
County,  New  York,  wanted  the  boy.  He  attended  the 
Hungerford  Institute  at  Adams,  New  York,  the  Alexander 
Military  Institute  at  White  Plains,  and  the  Hopkins  Gram-

navy,  and  participated  in  the  battle  of  Manila  under  Dewey, 
and  since  1900  he  has  been  in  the  government  employ  in  the 
Census  Bureau.  His  work  involves  considerable  travel. 
He  writes: 

"I  had  the  honor  to  belong  to  the  fleet  under  Admiral 
Dewey  and  was  with  him  on  May  1 ,  1898,  when  we  whipped 
the  Spaniards  in  Manila  Bay,  and  remained  in  the  Philip- 
pines throughout  the  war  and  afterward  until  September  2, 
1899.  So  far  as  I  know,  I  am  the  only  Yale  man  of  any 
class  who  took  part  in  those  stirring  events.  With  the  ex- 
ception of  the  above,  my  life  has  been  absolutely  uneventful." 

He  was  married  on  November  7,  1888,  in  New  Orleans, 
and  the  bride  was  Lucy  Wiltz,  daughter  of  Louis  Alfred 
Wiltz  and  Michail  Bienvenu.  Mrs.  Gardes  is  of  a  pure

ton,  Massachusetts.  She  is  still  living.  Her  family  was  of 
Scotch  origin,  her  ancestors  coming  to  this  country  at  an 
early  date  and  settling  near  Exeter,  New  Hampshire. 

Our  classmate  was  born  on  June  10,  i860,  at  Chicago, 
Illinois,  where  he  spent  his  early  childhood.  Later  he  lived 
in  New  York,  and  then  until  1867  in  Orange,  New  Jersey, 
after  which  time  he  resided  in  New  London,  Connecticut. 
He  attended  the  public  schools  of  New  London,  and  pre- 
pared for  college  in  the  Bulkeley  School  of  that  city,  enter- 
ing '82  at  the  beginning  of  freshman  year.  During  fresh- 
man year  he  roomed  with  Waller  at  41  High  Street,  and  in

junior  and  senior  years  he  roomed  with  Barbour,  first  in 
North,  and  afterward  in  Farnam  Hall.  He  was  a  member 
of  Gamma  Nu,  Psi  Upsilon,  Hare  and  Hounds  Club,  and 
Natural  History  Society. 

After  leaving  Yale  he  entered  the  Harvard  Medical 
School,  and  was  graduated  from  there  with  the  degree  of 
M.D.  in  1886,  a  member  of  the  last  class  which  received 
instruction  from  Dr.  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes.  He  then 
spent  eighteen  months  at  the  Boston  City  Hospital,  and  in 
January,  1887,  went  home  to  New  London,  Connecticut, 
and  settled  down  to  the  practice  of  medicine.  He  has  re- 
mained in  New  London  ever  since.     He  writes: 

"The  round  of  professional  duties  in  a  small  city,  how- 
ever important  and  absorbing  to  those  immediately  con- 
cerned, affords  little  of  interest  for  a  narrative.  Routine 
professional  duties,  though  generally  arduous  and  exacting, 
have  yet  left  some  time  which  could  be  devoted  to  outside 
interests." 

Graves  has  been  for  many  years  one  of  the  trustees  of 
the  Bulkeley  School,  and  is  also  one  of  the  trustees  of  the 
New  London  Public  Library.  He  is  also  an  officer  in  the 
Manwaring  Memorial  Hospital.  His  travels  have  been 
limited  to  various  trips  in  different  parts  of  this  country,  but 
the  larger  part  of  his  leisure  has  been  given  to  the  study  of 
the  various  natural  sciences.  He  is  the  author  of  many  arti- 
cles on  medical  and  scientific  topics  published  in  various 
magazines,  and  is  a  member  of  the  American  Medical  Asso- 
ciation, the  New  London  County  Medical  Association,  the 
New  London  Medical  Society,  the  Connecticut  Medical 
Society,  the  New  England  Botanical  Club,  the  Connecticut 
Botanical  Society,  and  the  New  London  County  Historical 
Society.  He  is  an  independent  in  politics,  and,  although  not 
a  member,  is  a  regular  attendant  of  the  Congregational 
Church. 

He  married  on  September   10,    1891,  at  New  London,

Lucretia  Adelaide  Collins.  Charles  Graves  was  a  graduate 
of  Trinity  College  in  the  class  of  1850.  He  was  born  at  Ira 
on  December  10,  1830,  but  lived  successively  in  Rutland, 
Vermont,  Washington,  District  of  Columbia,  and  New 
Haven.  Trinity  gave  him  an  M.A.,  and  later,  in  recogni- 
tion of  his  ability  as  a  lawyer  and  his  services  as  trea- 
surer of  the  college,  an  LL.D.  His  death  occurred  at 
Dansville,  New  York,  on  April  12,  1906.  The  Graves 
ancestors  settled  in  Hartford,  Connecticut,  sometime  pre- 
vious to  1645.  Graves'  mother  was  the  daughter  of 
Ephraim  Buttrick  of  Cambridge,  Massachusetts,  and  Mary 
King  of  Halifax,  Nova  Scotia.  She  was  born  on  June  20, 
1829,  in  Cambridge,  and  spent  her  early  life  there.  Her 
ancestors  settled  in  Concord,  Massachusetts,  in  1635. 
Among  them  was  Major  Simon  Willard,  one  of  the  founders 
of  Concord,  Massachusetts,  and  one  of  the  most  distin- 
guished men  in  the  military  and  civil  life  of  colonial  days. 
Another  ancestor,  Samuel  Buttrick,  participated  in  the  bat- 
tle of  Concord  Bridge,  where  his  brother,  Major  John  But- 
trick, gave  the  command  that  opened  the  Revolutionary 
War.  Ephraim  Buttrick  was  graduated  from  Harvard  in 
1 8 19.  Other  relatives  of  our  classmate  who  were  college 
graduates  were :  Uncles :  the  Rev.  Gemont  Graves,  Trinity 
1849,  and  Edward  King  Buttrick,  Harvard  1852;  brothers: 
Edward  Buttrick  Graves,  Yale  1881,  Yale  Law  1884;  Wal-

Trinity  1891,  Yale  Law  1893;  and  Richard  Stayner  Graves, 
Trinity  1894,  Yale  Medical  1897. 

Graves  was  born  on  March  25,  1861,  in  Rutland,  Ver- 
mont, and  lived  in  Washington,  District  of  Columbia,  from 
1862  to  1865.  From  1866  he  lived  in  New  Haven,  where, 
in  course  of  time,  he  prepared  for  college  at  the  Hopkins 
Grammar  School.  During  freshman  year  he  lived  at  home, 
but  for  the  remaining  three  years  roomed  with  Brewster  in 
Farnam.    His  societies  were  Delta  Kappa  and  Psi  Upsilon. 


BIOGRAPHIES 

For  a  year  after  graduation  he  was  in  the  lumber  busi- 
ness at  Stetsonville,  Wisconsin,  and  then  from  1883  to  1889 
a  student  in  Sheffield  Scientific  School.  His  life-occupation 
has  been  that  of  a  chemist.  From  1885  to  1886  he  was  an 
assistant  with  the  Fairfield  Chemical  Company  of  Bridge- 
port. For  the  next  two  years  he  was  superintendent  for  the 
same  company  in  New  Haven;  and  in  1888  he  returned  to 
Bridgeport  as  chief  chemist  and  director  of  the  works, 
which  at  the  present  day  belong  to  the  General  Chemical 
Company.  He  declares  that  his  life  has  been  an  uneventful 
one,  although  he  admits  that  he  has  been  shipwrecked  and 
struck  by  lightning,  "but  never  bankrupt."  He  is  a  member 
of  the  American  Chemical  Society,  the  Society  of  Chemical 
Industry  (English),  and  the  Seaside,  Algonquin,  Brook- 
lawn  Country,  Yacht,  and  Contemporary  clubs  of  Bridge- 
port. In  politics  he  is  a  Republican,  and  in  religion  a 
Protestant  Episcopalian.  In  1901  he  visited  Italy,  France, 
and  England. 

On  January  17,  1901,  in  Bridgeport,  he  was  married  to 
Mary  Caroline  Goodsell,  daughter  of  Zalmon  Goodsell  and 
Caroline  E.  Fox.  They  have  one  child,  Caroline,  born  on 
October  11,  1901,  in  Bridgeport.  Mrs.  Graves'  great- 
great-grandfather  was  the  Rev.  John  Goodsell,  of  Yale 
1724.  The  Rev.  John  Goodsell's  brother  Thomas  was 
graduated  in  the  same  class,  and  in  the  Yale  Library  there 
is  now  a  chair  given  by  the  descendants  of  John  Goodsell, 
which  once  belonged  to  James  Pierpont,  a  founder  of  Yale. 
The  father  of  these  two  was  Thomas  Goodsell  of  Somerset 
County,  England,  a  graduate  of  Trinity  College,  Oxford. 
He  came  to  America  in  1678  and  married  Sarah  Heming- 
way of  East  Haven,  a  sister  of  Jacob  Hemingway,  the  first 
student  of  Yale  College.  On  her  mother's  side  Mrs.  Graves 
is  descended  from  John  Howland  and  John  and  Elizabeth 
Tilley  of  the  Mayflower.

Gallup  and  Anna  Stanton  Billings  of  Ledyard;  and  her  an- 
cestors came  over  from  Dorsetshire,  England,  in  1630  to 
settle  at  Boston  and  at  Monumental  Island,  Massachusetts. 
The  Rev.  Leverett  G.  Griggs  of  Bristol,  Connecticut,  a 
great-uncle  of  our  classmate,  was  a  graduate  of  Yale  in  the 
class  of  1829,  as  were  several  cousins  and  uncles  of  the 
Gallup,  Williams,  and  Dimock  families.  Henry  F.  Dimock, 
of  Yale  1863,  now  of  New  York,  is  a  cousin  of  Griggs' 
father.  Both  his  parents  are  living  with  him  in  Tacoma, 
Washington. 

Griggs  was  born  on  February  27,  1861,  in  St.  Paul, 
Minnesota.  The  following  year  he  went  with  his  parents  to 
Chaska,  where  he  was  in  the  Moravian  School  for  a  brief 
time.  In  1866  he  moved  back  to  St.  Paul,  and  there  at- 
tended grammar  school  and  high  school,  with  private  in- 
struction in  the  classics,  until  he  was  ready  to  enter  Yale 
with  us  in  September,  1878.  His  brother,  C.  M.  Griggs, 
was  his  roommate  during  the  first  three  years  of  the  course, 
and  as  a  senior  he  roomed  with  Hine  of  '85.  The  hare- 
and-hounds  chase  was  one  of  his  athletic  recreations.  He 
was  light-weight  wrestler  one  year  in  the  gym-class  compe- 
titions, competed  in  the  class  running  races,  and  played  on 
the  Law  School  football  and  baseball  teams  in  1883-84. 
He  was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa  and  Psi  Upsilon. 

After  commencement  he  returned  for  a  two  years'  course 
in  the  Yale  Law  School,  being  graduated  in  1884.  He  read 
law  for  six  months  in  the  office  of  Cushman  K.  Davis  (de- 
ceased), former  governor  of  and  later  United  States  Sen- 
ator from  the  State  of  Minnesota,  and  was  assistant  city 
attorney  in  St.  Paul  during  1885.  Having  contracted  very 
serious  malarial  and  stomach  troubles,  he  was  obliged  to 
give  up  practice  for  about  three  years,  the  last  year  of  which 
enforced  vacation  was  spent  in  foreign  travel.  In  1888  he 
located   in  Tacoma,   Washington,   where   he  has  practised

locally  for  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  and  St.  Paul  Railway  in 
the  matter  of  buying  land,  examining  titles,  securing  fran- 
chises, and  trying  condemnation  suits;  and  he  has  also  made 
something  of  a  specialty  of  corporation  law,  being  attorney 
for  a  large  number  of  manufacturing,  mercantile,  and  bank- 
ing corporations.  Since  1888  he  has  been  trustee  and  at- 
torney of  the  St.  Paul  &  Tacoma  Lumber  Company,  which 
is  in  the  lumber-manufacturing  and  coal-mining  business. 
An  address  before  the  State  Bar  Association  of  Washing- 
ton, entitled  "Admiralty  Law,"  and  one  before  the  State 
Bankers'  Association  on  "Negotiable  Instruments"  were 
published  in  the  respective  proceedings  of  those  bodies.  He

the  First  Congregational  Church  of  Tacoma.  In  golf  he 
has  attained  considerable  local  celebrity,  having  held  the 
club  championship  for  several  years.

life  there  for  two  years  was  marked  especially  by  his  earnest- 
ness in  Christian  work,  and  while  thus  engaged  he  decided 
upon  the  ministry  as  his  vocation.  The  summer  of  1885  was 
spent  in  Europe,  tramping  Wales  and  Switzerland.  That 
fall  he  entered  Union  Theological  Seminary,  New  York,  and 
was  graduated  in  1888.  He  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the 
Presbytery  of  Lackawanna,  at  Honesdale,  Pennsylvania, 
and  although  urged  to  accept  a  pastorate  in  New  York 
City,  he  chose  a  less  conspicuous  position,  and  accepted 
a  call  to  the  Church  of  the  Covenant  in  Buffalo.  A  ministry 
full  of  promise  was  hardly  begun  when  it  was  suddenly 
ended.  Diabetes  manifested  itself,  and  on  November  12  he 
preached  his  farewell  sermon.  He  went  abroad  at  once,  to 
Carlsbad,  and  then  to  Cannes,  and  returned  somewhat  en- 
couraged in  April,  1890.  After  alternations  of  compara- 
tive strength  and  feebleness  he  was  attacked  with  the  grippe 
in  January,  1892,  and  died  at  Mansfield,  Ohio,  on  March  13 
of  that  year. 

On  June  17,  1888,  he  married  Sarah  Lord  Avery  of 
Mansfield,  Ohio.  They  had  one  son,  Avery  Chapman 
Hand,  born  on  April  27,  1889,  at  Cannes. 

Years  have  passed — we  have  not  forgotten  him,  and  we 
will  not,  for  quite  unconsciously  his  influence  for  good  was 
stamped  on  our  lives,  and  in  so  far  he  lives  in  us.

one  year  he  attended  Dickinson  College  and  for  one  year 
he  was  at  Wesleyan  University;  but  when  his  sophomore 
year  was  over,  he  left  Wesleyan  and  entered  Yale  with  '82 
in  the  beginning  of  junior  year.  He  roomed  with  Blumley 
in  North  Middle,  and  belonged  to  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

Immediately  after  graduation  he  became  teacher  in  Pen- 
nington Seminary,  having  charge  of  the  department  of 
Latin  and  Greek  and  the  sciences.  At  the  end  of  two  years 
he  became  vice-principal  of  the  institution,  taking  charge  of 
the  department  of  mathematics.  He  remained  there  in  this 
capacity  until  the  spring  of  1900,  when  he  went  to  Cali- 
fornia. He  has  been  engaged  for  the  past  nine  years  in 
high-school  work,  three  years  as  principal  of  the  Dinuba 
High  School,  Dinuba,  California,  later  as  principal  of  the 
Glenn  County  High  School,  Willows,  California,  and  is 
now  principal  of  the  Santa  Ynez  High  School.  His  oldest 
child,  Russell  Yale,  born  in  1883,  is  Class  Boy.  He  is  now 
a  mining  engineer  of  a  London  mining  company,  and  is 
located  in  Korea.  His  second  child,  John  Nelson,  is  a 
student  in  the  University  of  California.  He  also  ex-

Mrs.  Hawkes  was  born  in  Vermont  in  1826,  and  died  in 
New  York  City  on  May  28,  1906.  Her  family  was  also  of 
English  origin,  having  come  to  this  country  and  settled  at 
Three  Rivers,  Canada,  early  in  the  last  century. 

Hawkes  was  born  on  April  24,  1859,  at  Portland,  Maine, 
and  lived  there  until  1875,  when  he  moved  to  New  Haven 
with  his  family,  and  prepared  for  Yale  at  the  Hopkins 
Grammar  School,  entering  college  first  with  the  class  of  '81, 
and  joining  '82  in  junior  year.  He  was  a  member  of  Delta 
Kappa. 

After  graduation  he  entered  the  Yale  Law  School,  and 
took  the  degree  of  LL.B.  in  1883.  He  then  settled  in  To- 
peka,  Kansas,  where  he  practised  law  until  the  fall  of  1886, 
when  he  returned  to  New  Haven  and  took  the  graduate 
course  at  the  Yale  Law  School,  receiving  the  degree  of 
M.L.  in  1887.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Connecticut 
and  also  in  Kansas  in  1883,  and  in  New  York  in  1890,  about 
which  time  he  settled  in  New  York  City,  where  he  has  since 
remained  practising  his  profession.  He  is  a  Republican, 
and  writes  that  he  "has  been  working  hard  and  occasionally 
having  a  little  fun." 

On  January  21,  1890,  in  New  York  City,  he  married 
Julia  A.  Burrell.     They  have  no  children.

Charles  Samuel  Hebard  is  the  son  of  Charles  Hebard 
and  Mary  Cornelia  (Case)  Hebard.  Charles  Hebard  was 
born  on  January  9,  1831,  at  Lebanon,  Connecticut,  and,  like 
his  son,  was  a  lumberman.  He  died  at  Chestnut  Hill,  Phil- 
adelphia, on  June  11,  1902.  The  grandparents  on  this  side 
of  the  family  were  Learned  Hebard  and  Persis  Elizabeth 
Strong,    both   of   Lebanon,    Connecticut.      Their    ancestors 


BIOGRAPHIES 

came  from  England  in  1636  and  settled  in  Massachusetts. 
Hebard's  mother  was  the  daughter  of  Samuel  Case  and 
Euphemia    Case    of    Tobyhanna,    Pennsylvania.       In    the 


Charles  Samuel  Hebard 


Hebard  connection,  Alfred  Hebard,  a  great-uncle,  Albert 
Hebard  and  Daniel  Hebard,  uncles,  and  Daniel  Hebard,  a 
brother,  were  Yale  graduates. 

Hebard  was  born  in  Tobyhanna  on  December  6,  i860, 
and,  after  spending  the  first  eight  years  of  his  life  there, 
went  with  his  parents  to  Williamsport,  Pennsylvania,  and 
finally,  in  1878,  to  Pequaming,  Michigan.  He  meantime 
was  prepared  for  college  at  Williston  Seminary.  He  en- 
tered Yale  with  the  class  in  freshman  year,  and  roomed  with 
Storrs  the  first  twro  years,  and  with  Hower  the  last  two. 
He  was  on  the  class  baseball  nine,  consolidated  ball  nine,  the 
class  tug-of-war,  and  was  a  substitute  on  the  'varsity  base-

wrestling  championship  for  two  years.  His  societies  were 
Delta  Kappa,  Eta  Phi,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon,  and  he  is  a 
graduate  member  of  Wolf's  Head. 

Since  graduation  he  has  been  in  the  lumber-manufactur- 
mg  business  at  Pequaming,  although  he  spends  much  of  each 
year  in  the  East,  for  he  has  homes  at  Chestnut  Hill,  Phila-

He  married  Hannah  Jeanette  Morgan,  daughter  of 
David  Morgan  and  Jeanette  Evans,  on  September  30,  1885, 
in  Cleveland,  Ohio.  Mrs.  Hebard's  ancestors  were  Welsh. 
A  son,  Morgan  Hebard,  was  born  in  Cleveland  on  Febru- 
ary 23,  1887.  He  prepared  at  the  Asheville  School,  Ashe- 
ville,  North  Carolina,  and  was  graduated  at  Yale  in  the 
class  of  1 9 10.

Theodore  Holland  is  the  son  of  Josiah  Gilbert  Holland 
and  Elizabeth  Luna  (Chapin)  Holland.  Holland's  father 
was  of  English  origin.  His  mother  belonged  to  the  Spring- 
field Chapins,  who  were  of  English  and  Huguenot  ancestry. 
The  Holland  ancestors  are  believed  to  have  come  over  from 
London  in  1630.  They  settled  in  the  Plymouth  Colony,  and 
afterward  at  Watertown,  Massachusetts.  Holland's  grand- 
parents were  Harrison  Holland  of  Belchertown,  Massachu- 
setts, and  Anna  Gilbert  of  Hebron,  Connecticut.  Their 
son,  our  classmate's  father,  was  born  on  July  24,  18 19,  at 
Belchertown.  He  was  a  graduate  of  the  Berkshire  Medical 
College,  Pittsfield,  Massachusetts,  and  wrote  several  books 
and  many  poems.  He  was  one  of  the  editors  of  the  Spring- 
field Republican,  helped  found  Scribner's  Magazine  (which 
became  the  Century),  and  was  its  editor  up  to  the  time  of 


BIOGRAPHIES 

his  death,  which  occurred  on  October  12,  1881,  in  New 
York  City.  Holland's  mother  was  born  on  July  3,  1825,  in 
Springfield,  Massachusetts,  a  daughter  of  Whitfield  Chapin. 


Theodore  Holland 


She  died  on  April  26,  1896,  in  South  Orange,  New  Jersey. 
The  Chapin  ancestors  came  to  this  country  in  1630  and  set- 
tled at  Roxbury,  Massachusetts.  They  were  among  the 
early  settlers  of  Springfield.  "Deacon  Samuel"  Chapin  was 
honored  by  a  statue  in  that  city. 

Holland  was  born  on  December  7,  1859,  at  Springfield. 
He  made  his  home  in  that  city  until  1871,  when  his  father 
moved  to  New  York  City.  Two  years  of  his  boyhood  he 
spent  in  Europe  (1868-69),  visiting  England,  Scotland, 
France,  Germany,  Switzerland,  and  Austria.  He  was  edu- 
cated at  Monsieur  Paulmier's  school  in  Lausanne,  Switzer- 
land  (1869),  at  "tne  Gunnery"  in  Washington,  Connecti-

cut,  and  at  Williston  Seminary,  from  the  last  of  which  he 
was  graduated  in  1878.  For  the  first  three  years  in  college 
he  roomed  at  Mrs.  Lockwood's  on  Elm  Street,  and  in  senior 
year  in  Durfee  with  Hopkins.  He  belonged  to  no  athletic 
teams,  but  was  one  of  the  first  to  organize  a  lawn-tennis 
club.  He  was  a  class  historian,  and  a  member  of  the  Uni- 
versity Club,  Delta  Kappa,  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

Of  his  later  career  he  writes: 

"After  graduation  I  enrolled  myself  as  a  law  student  in 
the  Columbia  Law  School,  New  York,  and  entered  the  office 
of  Messrs.  Richards  &  Heald  to  combine  practical  with 
theoretical  work,  as  was  the  requirement  for  a  two  years' 
course.  In  June,  1884,  I  passed  my  final  examination  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  New  York. 

"During  the  following  year  I  became  interested  in  some 
patents  for  the  manufacture  of  'water-gas,'  and  became  the 
secretary  of  a  company  that  started  out  with  great  promise. 
Our  career  was  cut  short  by  losing  a  patent  suit,  and  we 
were  forced  to  retire  gracefully  from  the  business. 

"This  occupied  most  of  my  time  up  to  1888.  In  that  year 
I  was  seized  with  a  sudden  longing  to  follow  the  advice  of 
Horace  Greeley,  and  selected  Denver  as  the  objective  point. 
I  was  delighted  with  the  climate  and  people  and  decided  to 
settle  there. 

"The  law  never  appealed  to  me.  I  lacked  the  elements 
that  go  to  make  a  successful  lawyer.  Soon  after  reaching 
Denver  I  investigated  a  land  scheme  that  some  of  my  new- 
made  friends  were  embarking  on  and  went  into  it.  The 
lands  that  we  bought  were  located  at  Buena  Vista,  a  very 
pretty  mountain  town,  lying  in  the  Arkansas  valley  at  the 
foot  of  the  'College  Peaks'  — Mounts  Yale,  Harvard,  and 
Princeton.  I  resided  for  some  time  in  Buena  Vista.  Na- 
ture has  always  appealed  to  me,  but  after  studying  the  situ- 
ation I  decided  that  man  cannot  live  on  scenery,  and  sold 
out  my  holdings  to  advantage  and  returned  to  Denver.

"In  1 89 1  I  married  Florence  Olmsted  Ward,  daughter 
of  the  Hon.  Jasper  D.  Ward,  and  I  never  did  a  better  thing. 
I  thought  so  then,  and  after  sixteen  years  I  think  so  still. 
Judge  Ward  and  I  mined  together  for  some  time,  but  with- 
out success.  We  were  among  the  early  ones  to  exploit  Crip- 
ple Creek  in  a  small  way.  That  was  in  1893.  You  couldn't 
go  into  camp  in  a  Pullman  car  then,  but  had  a  long  pull  over 
the  mountains  in  an  old  'Concord'  or  a  mud  wagon  behind 
six.  It  was  an  interesting  trip  with  Keno  on  the  box,  but  it 
was  cold  in  winter.  I  once  had  the  pleasure  of  a  trip  down 
the  side  of  a  mountain,  six  horses  and  all,  when  we  slipped 
off  the  road  in  turning  out  for  an  ore-wagon  in  a  snow- 
storm. I  have  been  knocked  unconscious  by  a  windlass 
handle.  I  have  been  bucked  off  into  the  dry  bed  of  a  moun- 
tain creek,  and  I  think  there  are  some  rocks  still  embedded 
in  my  back.  These  are  trivial  matters,  but  go  to  show  some 
of  the  incidents  of  a  life  not  wholly  free  from  variety. 

"There  were  born  to  me  twin  daughters  on  April  15,  1892. 
November  16,  1900,  the  boy  arrived.  We  named  him  Jo- 
siah  Gilbert  Holland  after  his  grandfather.  I  hope  to  see 
him  a  Yale  man. 

"A  good  many  trials  beset  me  at  this  time.  My  daughter 
Elizabeth  succumbed  to  pneumonia  on  April  25,  1901,  and 
in  1902  I  suffered  a  severe  breakdown  with  nervous  pros- 
tration, from  which  I  did  not  recover  for  nearly  two  years. 
Finding  that  the  confinement  of  a  law  office  would  not  do, 
I  took  up  real  estate.  I  have  been  in  that  business  since, 
and  was,  for  a  time,  connected  with  the  Eden  Irrigation  & 
Land  Company,  a  corporation  operating  under  the  Carey 
Act  in  western  Wyoming.  I  am  now  doing  a  general  real 
estate  and  investment  business.  I  find  Denver  a  delightful 
place  to  live  in,  but  regret  that  it  is  so  far  away  from  old 
friends  and  associations." 

Holland  was  originally  a  Presbyterian,  but  joined  the 
Episcopal  Church  in  1896  and  has  been  a  vestryman  in  St.

Barnabas'  Church  in  Denver  for  the  past  nine  years.  He 
is  a  member  of  the  Denver  Country  Club. 

He  was  married  on  June  3,  1891,  at  Denver,  to  Florence 
Olmsted  Ward,  daughter  of  Jasper  D.  Ward  and  Emma  J. 
Raworth.  The  Wards  and  the  Raworths  were  both  of 
English  origin,  the  parents  of  Emma  Raworth  coming  from 
England  direct.  The  Hollands  have  had  three  children: 
Elizabeth  and  Barbara,  twins,  born  on  April  15,  1892,  in 
Denver,  and  Josiah  Gilbert,  born  on  November  16,  1900, 
in  the  same  city.    Elizabeth  died  on  April  25,  1901. 

His  business  address  is  325  Cooper  Building,  and  his 
residence  is  1337  East  Fourteenth  Avenue,  Denver,  Colo-

Samuel  Cornell  Hopkins  is  the  son  of  Henry  H.  Hop- 
kins and  Mary  E.  (Cornell)  Hopkins.  On  both  his  father's 
and  mother's  side  he  is  of  English  descent.  The  Hopkins 
family  settled  in  Saybrook,  Connecticut,  at  an  early  day, 
and  the  Cornell  family  settled  in  Westchester  County,  New 
York,  in  1646. 

Hopkins  was  born  in  New  York  City  on  February  9, 
1859.  He  attended  school  in  New  York  City  and  Catskill, 
New  York,  was  at  St.  Paul's  from  1874  to  1876,  and  went 
from  there  to  Williston  Seminary,  whence  he  was  graduated 
in  1877.  He  entered  '81,  but  joined  '82  in  freshman  year. 
Throughout  his  college  course  he  roomed  with  Holland, 
first  at  155  Elm  Street  and  afterward  in  Durfee.  For  the 
entire  course  of  four  years  Hopkins  played  first  base  on  the 
university  nine,  and  filled  that  position  probably  with  greater 
expertness  than  any  man  who  has  ever  stood  on  that  bag 
for  Yale  before  or  since.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Univer- 
sity Club,  Delta  Kappa,  He  Boule,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon, 
and  Scroll  and  Key. 

After  graduation  Hopkins  was  engaged  for  a  while  in

Frank  Albert  Kellogg  is  the  son  of  Henry  Kellogg 
and  Harriet  Helen  (Caldwell)  Kellogg.  Henry  Kellogg 
was  an  inventor,  a  California  "forty-niner,"  and  a  man  of

interesting  Civil  War  experiences.  He  lived  in  New  Hart- 
ford, Connecticut,  until,  at  the  time  gold  was  discovered,  he 
was  sent  to  California  as  president  of  a  trading  company. 
There  he  lived  until  about  1856.     A  contract  to  supply  the

government  with  brick  for  fortifications  took  him  to  Wash- 
ington just  before  the  Civil  War.  Some  of  the  first  patents 
on  machines  for  roller  shafting  were  in  his  name.  He  died 
at  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  on  December  20,  1894.  Kel- 
logg's  grandfather  was  Isaac  Kellogg  of  New  Hartford, 
Connecticut,  and  his  grandmother  was  Aurilla  Barney  of 
Tyringham,  Massachusetts.  The  family  came  from  Eng- 
land and  settled  in  Massachusetts,  and  the  "Kellogg  Book" 
indicates  descent  from  Governor  Bradford  of  that  colony. 
Kellogg' s  mother  was  born  on  May  18,  1823,  and  was  the 
daughter  of  Joseph  Caldwell  and  Sarah  Stone  Howe  of 
Barre,  Massachusetts.  She  died  on  August  16,  1886,  at  New 
Haven.  Her  ancestors  also  were  of  English  descent  and 
were  among  the  early  Massachusetts  settlers.  Two  uncles 
were  graduates  of  Wesleyan,  and  his  brother,  H.  J.  Kellogg, 
was  a  graduate  of  the  Sheffield  Scientific  School  in  the  class 
of '74. 

Kellogg  was  born  on  March  26,  1859,  at  Hartford,  Con- 
necticut, where  he  lived  two  years.  He  then  moved  to  New 
Haven,  where  he  lived  till  1869;  then  to  Milford,  Connec-

was  a  member  of  Psi  Upsilon  and  Berkeley.  He  avers  that, 
"considering  I  entered  two  years  late,  I  was  the  best-treated 
man  in  '82." 

After  commencement  he  attended  the  General  Theologi-

School,"  one  of  the  three  large  buildings  at  St.  Paul's.  At 
one  time  he  was  advocated  by  some  as  the  best  man  to  be 
head  master  of  the  school.  He  was  first  alternate  deputy 
from  New  Hampshire  to  the  General  Convention  that  met 
in  Richmond,  Virginia,  in  the  fall  of  1907,  and  served

deputed  as  the  chief  commissioner  to  inquire  into  the  cause 
of  the  Niu-chuang  massacre,  which  was  causing  trouble  with 
France,  and  he  managed  to  avert  the  danger  of  a  serious 
breach  and  bring  the  affair  to  a  peaceful  conclusion.  His 
creditable  handling  of  that  case  brought  him  the  promotion 
to  the  directorship  of  the  Tientsin-Chinkiang  Railway,  with 
the  power  to  raise  funds  for  the  construction  of  the  proposed 
line.  Before  he  was  fairly  launched  on  this  work  he  was 
nominated  to  be  Minister  to  the  United  States,  but  declined 
the  appointment,  and  was  made  controller-general  of  the 
Imperial  Maritime  Customs,  with  a  view  to  reinstating  the 
control  of  the  Chinese  customs  in  the  hands  of  the  natives.

Charles  Jonas  Long  is  the  son  of  Jonas  Long,  who  came 
to  this  country  about  the  year  1846,  and,  after  living  some 
years  in  Philadelphia,  finally  settled  in  Wilkes-Barre  in 
i860,  and  died  there  in  1884.  The  family  is  of  German 
origin. 

Long  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  May  3,  1859,  but  was 
taken  to  Wilkes-Barre  soon  after,  and  went  to  the  Wilkes-

Pennsylvania,  and  the  Central  High  School  of  Philadelphia. 
Afterward,  under  Professor  George  Stuart,  he  was  tutored 
for  college,  entering  Yale  in  1878. 

It  was  Long's  idea  to  take  up  a  professional  career,  but 
the  death  of  his  father  soon  after  graduation  drew  him, 
along  with  his  brothers,  into  the  care  of  his  father's  busi- 
ness. He  is  now  actively  engaged  in  the  management  of 
Jonas  Long's  Sons'  chain  of  department  stores,  and  is  a

scended  from  Joseph  Loomis,  who  came  from  Braintree, 
England,  in  1638,  and  after  a  year  in  Boston  settled  in 
Windsor,  Connecticut.  Our  classmate's  grandparents  in 
this  line  were  John  Wells  Loomis  of  Suffield,  Connecticut, 
and  Eliza  Whitney  of  Huntington,  Massachusetts.  His 
father  was  born  on  June  24,  1832,  in  Southwick,  Massachu- 
setts, and  lived  most  of  his  life  in  Suffield,  attending  Mr. 
Bird's  School  in  Hartford  in  his  youth.  He  was  a  merchant 
and  manufacturer,  and  died  on  February  10,  1903.  Loom- 
is' mother  was  born  on  June  6,  1836,  in  Suffield,  the  daugh- 
ter of  Daniel  W.  Norton  and  Mindwell  Pease.    Her  family

came  from  Bedfordshire,  England,  in  1633,  and  settled  at 
Ipswich,  Massachusetts. 

Loomis  was  horn  on  November  12,  1861,  in  Suffield.  At 
the  age  of  twelve  he  entered  the  Connecticut  Literary  Insti- 
tution, from  which  he  was  graduated  as  valedictorian  in 
1878.  During  his  college  course  he  roomed  at  home  with  his 
parents.     He  was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa. 

The  theory  and  practice  of  law  had  been  a  hobby  with  him 
in  college  to  the  extent  of  actually  impelling  his  going  to  the 
law  courts  in  his  spare  moments  and  following  the  cases. 
Consequently  it  was  no  surprise  to  his  friends  when,  after 
being  graduated  from  Yale,  he  entered  the  Law  School  and 
was  graduated  in  1884  an  LL.B.  cum  laude.  Meantime, 
from  1883  he  worked  in  the  office  of  a  New  Haven  lawyer, 
John  \Y.  Ailing,  Yale  '62.  For  three  years  after  graduation 
he  wras  with  Mr.  Ailing,  and  from  1887  to  1893  practised 
with  Judge  William  B.  Stoddard.  In  the  fall  of  1893  he 
opened  an  office  of  his  own,  and  this  he  still  maintains.  He 
has  been  engaged  in  general  civil  practice,  largely  in  cases 
involving  insurance  and  employers'  and  common  carriers' 
liability,  and  the  law  of  trusts  and  estates.  Always  inter- 
ested in  politics,  he  was  elected  assistant  city  clerk  of  New 
Haven  in  1885  and  1886;  and  in  the  latter  part  of  1886, 
during  the  illness  and  after  the  death  of  his  superior,  he  was 
acting  city  clerk.  In  1903  he  was  appointed  executive  secre- 
tary to  Governor  Morris  and  held  that  office  for  two  years. 
As  such  he  did  for  the  State  Executive  Department  the  work 
now  done  by  the  attorney-general,  an  office  since  created  by 
the  Legislature. 

Loomis  was  the  compiler  and  editor  of  the  New  Haven 
City  Year-Books  in  1885  and  1886,  and  has  published  many 
legal  papers  and  addresses.  He  is  a  member  of  the  United 
Church  (Congregational),  a  Democrat,  and  a  member  of

and  has  traveled  extensively  in  this  country  and  Canada. 

On  April  22,  1892,  in  New  Haven,  he  married  Catharine 
Canfield  Northrop,  daughter  of  Samuel  Canfield  Northrop

to  Beacon  Hill,  and  from  there  to  Boylston  Street  and  Cop- 
ley Square.  He  spent  considerable  time  in  the  Massachu- 
setts General  Hospital  and  three  years  in  one  of  the  Boston 
hospitals  devoted  to  surgical  cases  only.  In  1897  he  built 
his  present  home  in  Newton  and  has  since  lived  there,  giving 
his  entire  time  to  the  practice  of  medicine  and  service  on  the 
staff  of  the  Newton  Hospital.  He  says  that  he  has  kept  out 
of  politics  mostly,  but  that  in  1901  and  1902,  when  he  was 
nominated  by  both  Republicans  and  Democrats,  he  simply 
had  to  serve  on  the  Board  of  Aldermen  of  Newton  for  two 
terms.  He  was  appointed  city  physician  in  1909,  which 
position  he  still  retains.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Medical  Association  and  secretary  of  the  Newton 
Medical  Club,  a  Republican  in  politics,  and  a  member  of  the 
Unitarian  Church.  England,  Germany,  Holland,  Switzer- 
land, France,  and  Belgium  were  visited  by  him  in  1902,  and 
he  again  visited  England  and  Ireland  the  succeeding  year. 

On  December  14,  1887,  in  Arlington,  Massachusetts,  he 
married  Amelia  Frances  Robbins,  daughter  of  Alvin  Rob- 
bins  and  Emma  Frances  De  Blois.  Mrs.  Lowe's  paternal 
ancestors  took  part  in  the  battle  of  Lexington,  one  of  them 
being  Captain  John  Parker,  who  had  charge  of  the  minute- 
men.  Another  was  Theodore  Parker,  the  great  American 
preacher,  born  in  Lexington  and  buried  in  Florence,  Italy. 
Lowe  has  one  child:  Gwendolen  Robbins,  born  on  July  1, 
1890,  in  Arlington.  She  prepared  for  college  in  the  class  of 
1908  at  Newton  High  School,  and  is  now  a  member  of  the

He  was  a  member  during  freshman  year  of  Delta  Kappa, 
and  during  junior  year  of  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

After  leaving  college  he  traveled  through  Missouri  and 
South  Dakota  on  a  tour  of  investigation,  and  finally  located 
at  Minneapolis,  Minnesota.  There  he  organized  the  firm  of 
Moodey  Brothers,  wholesale  fruit  and  fancy  grocers.  Real 
estate  and  banking  likewise  engaged  his  attention.  Leaving 
Minneapolis,  he  went  to  Oregon,  and  then  removed  to 
Painesville,  Ohio,  where  the  firm  of  Moodey  &  Company 
were  the  proprietors  of  the  City  Mills,  manufacturing  flour. 
At  the  same  time  he  was  head  of  the  firm  of  H.  L.  Moodey 
&  Company,  druggists  and  grocers.  Thereafter  he  went  to 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  established  a  wholesale  crockery  busi- 
ness. In  1892  he  returned  to  New  York,  and  is  now  en- 
gaged in  manufacturing,  being  a  director  and  manager  of 
the  Simmons  Pipe  Bending  Works  at  Newark,  New  Jersey. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  a  Republi- 
can in  politics,  and  is  also  a  member  of  the  Yale  Club  of 
New  York  City.  During  the  summer  of  1896  he  traveled 
extensively  in  England  and  on  the  Continent. 

He  married  on  July  12,  1883,  Helen  Antoinette  Paine, 
daughter  of  George  E.  Paine  and  Helen  A.  Tracey.  The 
Paine  family  is  of  English  origin,  having  migrated  from 
Hartford,  Connecticut,  to  the  "Western  Reserve"  (later 
Ohio),  and  there  founded  the  city  of  Painesville.  Mrs. 
Moodey's  father  is  a  graduate  of  Western  Reserve  College, 
and  she  also  has  numerous  relatives  who  are  graduates  of 
Yale.  Moodey  has  five  daughters.  The  fifth,  Hannah 
Chatham  Moodey,  the  child  and  consolation  of  his  old  age, 
has  recently  been  born  as  an  answer  to  his  prayers  that  he 
might  have  a  son  who  would  hand  down  his  name  at  Yale.

1826,  at  West  Hartford,  the  daughter  of  Samuel  Whit- 
man of  West  Hartford  and  Elizabeth  Howard  of  Coventry, 
Connecticut.  Her  ancestors  came  from  Hertfordshire, 
England,  in  1626,  and  settled  at  Weymouth,  Massachu- 
setts. Morris  sends  the  following  additional  genealogical 
data: 

"My  father  was  a  member  of  the  Yale  Corporation  for 
about  twenty  years  before  his  death  in  1885.  He  was  a 
descendant  in  a  double  line  from  the  Rev.  Thomas  Hooker, 
founder  of  the  Connecticut  Colony  at  Hartford  in  1637. 

"Of  my  mother's  ancestors,  Zechariah  Whitman  was 
graduated  from  Harvard  in  the  class  of  1668,  and  Samuel 
Whitman  in  the  class  of  1696.  The  latter  was  the  third 
minister  at  Farmington,  Connecticut,  and  a  fellow  of  Yale 
College  from  1724  to  1746.  Another  ancestor,  the  Rev. 
Solomon  Stoddard  of  Northampton,  Massachusetts,  was 
first  librarian  of  Harvard  College,  1667-74,  and  a  Harvard 
graduate  in  the  class  of  1662." 

Morris  was  born  in  West  Hartford  on  August  19,  i860, 
and  lived  his  early  years  in  that  town,  attending  the  public 
schools  till  the  spring  of  1874,  when  he  entered  the  Hart- 
ford High  School.  There  he  was  graduated  in  1878.  En- 
tering Yale  with  the  class  in  freshman  year,  he  roomed  with 
Welch  in  North  for  a  year,  then  as  a  sophomore  with 
Parsons  in  South  Middle,  and  junior  and  senior  years  with 
Scudder  in  Farnam.  He  rowed  stroke  in  the  Dunham 
crew  when  it  won  the  four-oared  race  on  Saltonstall  in 
October,  1881,  and  he  won  the  mile  run  in  the  spring  of 
1882.  He  was  on  the  ivy  committee  at  graduation,  and 
belonged  to  Psi  Upsilon. 

After  graduation  Morris  was  a  clerk  in  the  pay  depart- 
ment of  the  United  States  army  till  1884,  when  he  went  to 
Johns  Hopkins  University  and  put  in  a  year  of  graduate 
work  in  political  science  and  history.  In  the  spring  of 
1885  he  taught  in  the  Washington  High  School,  and  in  the 


BIOGRAPHIES 

spring  of  i  886  in  the  Montclair  (New  Jersey)  High  School. 
Again  he  was  at  Yale  in  1886-87,  and  received  the  degree 
of  M.A.  at  commencement  for  a  thesis  on  "Internal  Im- 
provements In  Ohio,  1825-50,"  which  was  read  before  the 
American  Historical  Association's  meeting  in  Washington 
in  1888,  and  published  in  the  association's  records  for  that 
year.  Trinity  College,  Toronto,  Canada,  duplicated  the 
M.A.  in  1893.  From  1887  to  1889  Morris  was  at  the 
Berkeley  Divinity  School,  at  Middletown,  Connecticut,  be- 
coming a  deacon  in  1889  and  a  priest  of  the  Episcopal 
Church  in  1890.  The  summer  of  1889  he  spent  traveling 
in  England  and  Scotland.  He  is  an  independent  in  politics. 
Of  his  pastorate  since  entering  the  ministry  he  writes: 

"My  life  in  the  Church  for  eighteen  years  has  been  a 
roving  one.  I  have  served  as  curate,  rector,  and  missionary 
in  many  parishes,  in  various  parts  of  the  country,  in  city,  vil- 
lage, and  town,  and  among  all  classes  of  people. 

"Like  every  rover,  I  have  had  the  benefits  of  that  sort 
of  life,  and  have  also  had  to  pay  the  penalties.  The  penal- 
ties are  obvious  and  sometimes  poignant.  But  I  have  kept 
out  of  the  ruts  and  escaped  bondage.  I  enjoy  life  and  I 
enjoy  my  work.  Life  appears  to  me  as  fresh  and  full  of 
interest  as  it  did  twenty-five  years  ago." 

On  October  24,  1904,  at  Amesbury,  Massachusetts,  he 
married  Mary  Josephine  Burlingame,  daughter  of  Charles 
Austin  Burlingame  and  Katharine  Maon.  Mrs.  Morris 
belongs  to  the  Vermont  branch  of  the  Burlingame  family. 

His  address  is  15  Dale  Street,  Newtonville,  Massachu- 
setts.

*  Frank  Edward  Page  was  the  son  of  Albert  G.  Page  and 
Maria  L.  (Drummond)  Page.  His  father  was  born  June 
10,  1817,  at  Bath,  Maine,  where  he  passed  most  of  his  life 
as  a  business  man,  and  where  he  died  January  15,  1889. 
The  family  was  of  English  origin,  its  ancestors  having  come 
to  this  country  in  the  eighteenth  century  and  settled  at 
Haverhill,  Massachusetts.  Page's  mother  was  born  at 
Phippsburg,  Maine,  in  1821,  and  there  spent  her  early  life, 
dying  at  Bath,  Maine,  November,  1893.  Her  family  was 
of  Scotch-Irish  origin,  her  ancestors  having  come  to  this 
country  in  1728  and  settled  at  Georgetown,  Maine.  One  of 
Page's  uncles  was  graduated  from  Bowdoin  in  1852,  and  a 
brother  was  graduated  from  Yale  in  1875. 

Our  classmate  was  born  at  Bath,  Maine,  February  20,

Frank  Edward  Page 


After  leaving  college  Page  went  to  Chicago  and  studied 
law  in  the  office  of  Cornelius  Van  Schaack  and  others  until 
he  was  admitted  to  practice  in  1884.  After  his  admission 
to  the  bar  he  was  engaged  in  general  practice  continuously 
until  his  death.    He  wrote  concerning  his  career : 

"It  is  deplorably  lacking  in  interest,  but  such  is  the  fate  of 
man  who  lives  out  of  the  public  eye.  I  have  not  inscribed 
my  name  high  in  the  temple  of  fame,  on  the  other  hand  it 
has  not  been  engrossed  in  bankruptcy  or  criminal  court  pro- 
ceedings, except  occasionally  in  a  professional  capacity.  I 
arrived  in  Chicago  with  five  dollars  capital  and  could  prob-

ably  schedule  that  amount  now,  though  there  have  been 
times  in  the  past  twenty-five  years  when  I  could  not  have 
made  this  proud  boast." 

Early  in  1908  he  made  a  legal  connection  with  one  of  the 
old-line  life-insurance  companies,  which  took  a  good  deal  of 
his  time,  and  paid  him  well.  The  work  was  not  all  of  a 
legal  nature,  but  was  in  connection  with  the  investment  and 
reinvestment  of  real  estate  in  Chicago  and  the  immediate 
vicinity. 

Page  died  at  his  home  in  Chicago,  May  25,  1909,  of 
pneumonia,  after  a  short  illness.  The  Warren  Avenue  Con- 
gregational Church  paper,  in  a  notice  of  his  death,  said: 
"No  one  has  ever  been  identified  with  the  church  who  was 
so  intimately  connected  with  all  the  departments  of  its  work 
and  so  helpful  in  all  of  them  as  was  Mr.  Page.  He  was  con- 
nected with  the  church  before  its  organization  as  an  indepen- 
dent church  twenty  years  ago,  and  when  it  was  so  organized 
he  was  elected  church  treasurer,  a  position  which  he  held, 
with  the  exception  of  a  short  time,  until  his  death.  This 
position  identified  him  with  the  board  of  trustees  during  all 
the  life  of  the  church,  and  his  wise  judgment  and  kindly 
counsel  has  had  no  little  to  do  with  guiding  the  affairs  of  the 
church  in  times  of  crisis." 

Page  married,  July  2,  1895,  at  Chicago,  Illinois,  Gertrude 
M.  Swenson,  the  daughter  of  Bernard  Swenson  and  An- 
toinette Swenson.  Two  of  Mrs.  Page's  brothers  and  two  of 
her  sisters  are  graduates  of  colleges.    They  had  no  children.

BIOGRAPHIES 

Born  in  New  Haven  on  September  16,  i860,  Pardee 
attended  the  Thomas  Private  School  till  1871,  the  French 
School  in  1872,  and  the  Hopkins  Grammar  School  till  1878, 
when  he  was  prepared  to  enter  Yale  with  our  class.  During 
the  four  years  he  roomed  at  home.  He  was  a  member  of 
Delta  Kappa  and  Psi  Upsilon. 

The  Yale  Taw  School  gave  him  his  TL.B.  cum  laude  in 
1884,  and  he  entered  upon  the  practice  of  his  profession. 
He  immediately  formed  a  partnership  with  James  Protus 
Pigott,  Yale  '78.  Mr.  Pigott  went  to  Congress  in  1892, 
and  Pardee  set  up  for  himself  and  as  counsel  for  the  town 
of  New  Haven.  "The  panic  of  1893  put  the  Democratic 
party  out  of  business,  and  I  soon  after  resigned  as  town 
counsel."  In  1896  he  bolted  the  silver  issue  and  became 
town  chairman  of  the  Gold  Democrats,  and  later  ran  (un- 
successfully) as  a  gold  candidate  for  mayor.  During  the 
next  few  years  his  business  became  entirely  corporate.  In 
1905  he  ran  for  mayor  of  New  Haven  as  a  Democrat,  and 
although  he  received  very  many  Republican  votes,  he  was 
badly  beaten,  partly  as  a  punishment  for  his  gold  record, 
the  only  so-called  Democratic  paper  in  town  bolting  him. 
He  was  the  author  of  the  agitation  which  resulted  in  the 
last  Constitutional  Convention  in  Connecticut,  and  contrib- 
uted very  much  to  bring  about  the  reform  representation 
in  both  the  Republican  and  Democratic  conventions.  He 
was  the  author  of  the  first  Corrupt  Practices  Act  and  the 
first  direct  primary  law  in  Connecticut,  and  the  author  of 
the  Fourteen  Town  Bill.  Pardee  has  been  a  partner  in  the 
firm  of  Marvin  &  Pardee,  manufacturers  of  sewing-silks, 
since  1893  ;  treasurer  and  director  of  the  Jewett  City  Water 
Company  since  1899;  secretary  and  director  of  the  New 
Canaan  Water  Company  since  1897;  treasurer  and  director 
of  the  Suffolk  Gas  &  Electric  Light  Company,  1903-07  ;  and 
treasurer  and  director  of  the  Guilford-Chester  Water  Com- 
pany.    He  has  published  several  political   pamphlets   and

in  New  Haven,  and  an  alternate  to  the  diocesan  conventions. 
He  belongs  to  the  Quinnipiack  Club  of  New  Haven,  and 
for  fourteen  years  he  was  its  secretary  and  is  now  its  pres- 
ident, and  he  is  also  a  charter  member  of  the  New  Haven 
Country  Club.  He  is  vice-commodore  of  the  New  Haven 
Yacht  Club,  a  member  of  the  Waltonian  Fishing  Club,  and 
the  Lotos  Club  of  New  York  City,  and  is  also  a  member 
of  the  executive  committee  of  the  Connecticut  Civil  Service 
Reform  Association,  and  of  the  Council  of  One  Hundred 
of  New  Haven.  He  gave  up  the  practice  of  the  law  July 
i,  1909.  In  1900  he  traveled  in  England;  in  1902  in  Italy; 
in  1904  in  France  and  Switzerland;  and  in  1906  in  Holland 
and  Germany.

James  Quackenbush  Rice 


from  England  about  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century, 
and  settled  in  Rhode  Island.  James  Quackenbush  Rice,  Sr., 
was  a  graduate  of  Wesleyan  University,  Middletown,  Con- 
necticut, and  was  later  given  the  degree  of  M.A.  by  that 
university.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  he  was  con- 
ducting a  large  school  in  Goshen,  Litchfield  County,  Con- 
necticut. He  responded  to  Lincoln's  call  for  volunteers, 
raised  a  company,  and  went  out  as  captain  with  the  Nine- 
teenth Regiment  of  Connecticut  Volunteers,  which  regiment 
afterward  became  the  Second  Connecticut  Heavy  Artillery. 
He  was  killed  at  the  battle  of  Opequon  Creek,  on  the  19th 
of  September,  1864,  this  action  being  sometimes  known  as

the  second  battle  of  Winchester.  The  family  of  Harriet  E. 
Cook  came  to  this  country  about  the  middle  of  the  seven- 
teenth century  from  England,  and  settled  in  Wallingford, 
Connecticut,  from  which  place  they  moved  about  1735  to 
Goshen,  Connecticut,  when  the  so-called  ''Western  Lands" 
of  the  State  of  Connecticut  were  settled,  and  became  the 
original  settlers  of  that  town. 

Rice  was  born  at  Goshen,  Litchfield  County,  Connecticut, 
on  the  ioth  of  October,  18^9,  and  spent  the  early  part  of 
his  life  in  that  town.  In  1  874  his  mother  removed  to  Hart- 
ford, Connecticut,  and  he  prepared  for  college  at  the  Hart-

principal  examiner  of  the  Patent  Office  in  1889,  all  of  his 
promotions  having  been  obtained  by  competitive  examina- 
tions. At  the  same  time  he  studied  law,  taking  the  degree 
of  LL.B.  at  the  Columbian  University  Law  School,  and  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  District  of

was  in  charge  of  the  class  of  inventions  relating  more  par- 
ticularly to  printing  machinery  and  machinery  for  producing 
paper  products.  It  is  in  connection  with  this  class  of  ma- 
chinery, therefore,  that  he  is  best  known  to  the  patent  pro-

but  in  the  fall  of  1906  his  health  gave  way,  and  he  felt 
obliged  to  drop  his  professional  work,  since  which  time  he 
has  been  residing  at  his  home  in  the  town  of  Guilford,  where 
he  has  spent  his  time  in  outdoor  work  and  study,  taking  a 
course  in  psychology  and  pedagogy  for  the  M.A.  degree  at 
Vale.     This  he  received  in  June,  1909.     He  writes: 

uOn  the  whole,  life  has  run  very  smoothly  and  pleasantly 
with  me,  and  I  have  no  complaints  to  make.  People  have 
been  fully  as  good  to  me  as  T  deserve,  and  I  hope  I  may  be 
able  to  pay  it  back  by  still  being  a  help  to  some  one." 

He  is  a  member  of  the  Second  Congregational  Church 
at  Norwich,  and  was  for  a  number  of  years  one  of  its  dea- 
cons and  superintendent  of  its  Sunday-school.

presses the  wish  that  he  may  some  day  receive  his  diploma 
from  Yale.

Benjamin  Huger  Rutledge  is  the  son  of  Benjamin  H. 
Rutledge  and  Eleanor  (Middleton)  Rutledge.  Benjamin 
H.  Rutledge,  Sr.,  was  born  on  June  4,  1829,  at  Statesburg, 
South  Carolina,  and  spent  most  of  his  life  at  Charleston, 
South  Carolina,  where,  after  being  graduated  from  Yale  in 
the  class  of  1848,  he  practised  law,  and  died  on  April  30, 
1S93.  The  Rutledge  family  was  of  Irish  origin,  having 
come  to  this  country  in  1730  and  settled  at  Charleston.  The 
first  of  Rutledge's  ancestors  in  this  country  was  attorney-

general  of  the  colony,  and  in  the  next  generation  the  family

Lincoln's  Inns  of  Court.     John  Rutledge  was  the  second

Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States,  and  Edward  Rutledge 
one  of  the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and 
High  Chancellor  of  South  Carolina  for  many  years,  dying  in 
office  after  the  Revolutionary  period.  Rutledge's  father 
was  a  member  of  the  Secession  Convention  of  i860,  and 
commanded  a  brigade  in  the  army  of  the  Confederate  States 
during  the  Civil  War.  On  his  mother's  side  the  ancestry  of 
Rutledge  is  equally  distinguished,  all  his  maternal  fore- 
fathers having  been  educated  in  England,  one  of  them  hav- 
ing been  a  royal  governor,  one  president  of  the  Continental 
Congress,  one  a  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence, 
and  one  a  governor  of  South  Carolina  and  Minister  from

the  United  States  to  Russia.  All  of  these  were  graduates  of 
English  universities. 

Rutledge  was  born  on  September  4,  1861,  at  Charleston, 
South  Carolina,  and  there  resided  prior  to  entering  college. 
He  prepared  for  Yale  at  the  Virginia  Military  Institute  at 
Lexington,  Virginia,  and  entered  '82  in  junior  year,  during 
which  he  roomed  alone  on  Elm  Street.  At  that  time  the 
war  period  was  not  so  distant  that  its  sadly  bitter  experiences 
could  be  forgotten,  and  it  would  have  taken  more  than  a 
normal  youth  from  the  South  to  escape  all  feeling  of  rancor 
toward  those  of  Northern  blood.  The  Yale  spirit,  how- 
ever, works  surely  though  subtly,  and  gradually  the  spirit  of 
friendship  supplanted  that  of  hostility,  and  Rutledge  became 
loved  and  loving.  Rutledge  came  to  Yale  a  type  of  the  Old 
South,  but  was  graduated  with  the  spirit  of  the  New  South. 

Since  that  time  he  has  been  busily  engaged  in  the  practice 
of  law  in  Charleston,  his  firm  being  Mordecai  &  Gadsden, 
Rutledge  &  Hagood.  In  1885  he  was  elected  captain  of  the 
Carolina  Rifles,  and  in  1887  major  commanding  the  Sec- 
ond Battalion,  Fourth  Brigade,  South  Carolina  Volunteer 
Troops.  In  1889  he  was  president  of  the  City  Democratic 
Convention,  and  was  for  a  number  of  years  a  member  of  the 
State  Legislature.  He  has  for  many  years  been  vestryman 
of  St.  Michael's  Episcopal  Church,  and  is  a  member  of  the 
Charleston  Club,  the  St.  Cecilia  Society,  the  State  Bar  Asso- 
ciation, and  the  Masonic  Fraternity. 

Rutledge  married  on  October  5,  1892,  at  Fletcher,  North 
Carolina,  Emma  Craig  Blake,  daughter  of  Daniel  Blake 
and  Helen  E.  Craig.  Mrs.  Rutledge  is  a  descendant  of 
Benjamin  Blake,  a  brother  of  Admiral  Blake,  and  also  of 
Sir  Joseph  Low,  Proprietor  of  South  Carolina,  and  the  first 
governor  thereof  born  in  this  country.  They  have  six  chil- 
dren, of  whom  one,  the  only  boy,  Benjamin  H.,  Jr.,  born 
January  11,  1902,  Rutledge  designates  as  destined,  D.  V., 
for  Yale  1924.

on  August  4,  1889.  Her  ancestors  came  from  England  and 
settled  in  Wethersfield,  Connecticut. 

Shoemaker  was  born  on  September  28,  1859,  in  Wilkes- 
Barre,  where  his  early  years  were  spent  in  private  schools, 
and  on  January  1,  1877,  he  entered  the  Hopkins  Grammar 
School,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1878.  He  roomed 
with  Parke  in  freshman  year,  in  sophomore  year  alone  in 
West  Divinity,  and  as  a  junior  and  senior  in  Farnam  with 
J.  F.  Allen.  In  senior  year  he  was  president  of  the  Hare 
and  Hounds  Club,  and  at  graduation  was  on  the  senior 
promenade  committee.  He  was  a  member  of  Kappa  Sigma 
Epsilon,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon,  and  a  graduate  member  of 
Wolf's  Head. 

Medicine  attracted  him,  and  he  received  an  M.D.  from 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1886,  and  he  attained  no 
little  distinction  in  his  profession.  He  was  a  surgeon  on  the 
staff  of  the  Wilkes-Barre  City  Hospital,  consulting  surgeon 
of  the  Mercy  Hospital,  physician  for  the  Home  for  Friend- 
less Children  and  the  United  Charities  in  Wilkes-Barre, 
trustee  of  the  State  Hospital   for  the  Insane  at  Danville,

the  Central  Railroad  of  New  Jersey,  examiner  for  the 
Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company  and  the  Security  Mutual 
Life  Insurance  Company  of  Binghamton  and  the  Bankers' 
Life  Insurance  Company,  a  director  of  the  Second  National

the  Pennsylvania  State  Medical  Society,  the  American  Medi- 
cal Association,  and  the  American  Academy  of  Medicine. 
He  was  a  Republican.  His  European  travel  included  three 
trips,  in  1876,  1902,  and  1909. 

On  November  27,  1889,  in  Scranton,  Pennsylvania,  he 
married  the  sister  of  his  classmate,  Cornelia  W.  Scranton, 
daughter  of  Joseph  H.  Scranton  and  Cornelia  Walker. 

In  the  summer  of  1909  Shoemaker  traveled  extensively  in 
Europe  with  his  wife  and  sister,  and  about  the  middle  of 
September  went  to  Bad  Nauheim  to  try  the  baths.  He 
died  there  September  27  from  an  acute  attack  of  the 
heart  trouble  from  which  he  had  suffered  for  several  years, 
a  disease  that  he  had  known  to  be  incurable  from  the 
beginning.  Its  progress  had  compelled  his  gradual  retire- 
ment from  the  practice  of  his  profession  at  a  time  when  a 
more  than  local  success  and  reputation  were  assured.  He 
was  enthusiastic  in  his  work,  intensely  ambitious,  and  was 
making  good  in  the  largest  sense.  Few  even  of  those  who 
knew  him  well  realized  how  bitter  the  disappointment  was. 
To  such  as  understood  and  watched  the  course  of  events,  he 
gave  a  most  wonderful  exhibition  of  pluck  and  courage  in  a 
fight  against  overwhelming  odds.  He  never  complained  or 
whimpered.  Always  a  manly  man,  he  was  never  more  so 
than  in  these  last  years.  He  was  a  fellow  of  earnest  con- 
victions, wide  in  his  sympathies,  lovable  and  loyal  to  his 
friends.     One  who  knew  him  intimately  from  prep-school

days  till  the  end  can  truthfully  say  he  never  heard  him  speak 
a  cruel  or  even  unkind  word  of  any  one. 

To  him  the  loss  of  the  success  in  his  grasp  seemed  failure. 
Those  who  watched  the  way  in  which  he  played  out  as  hard 
a  game  as  can  come  to  a  man,  how  sweetly  he  accepted  the 
inevitable  and  simply  did  the  best  he  could  as  long  as  he 
could,  felt  it  the  most  glorious  success  that  could  be  achieved. 

He  was  a  man  who  could  ill  be  spared,  and  his  going 
leaves  a  gap  that  for  many  can  never  be  filled.

Hampshire.  He  roomed  his  first  year  on  Chapel  Street  and 
during  junior  and  senior  years  with  M.  S.  Allen  in  Durfee. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  junior  promenade  committee. 

After  graduation  he  settled  in  business  in  Oswego,  Kan- 
sas, where  he  was  a  loan  broker  and  notary  public,  and  also 
a  director  in  the  First  National  Bank. 

On  December  25,  1884,  he  married  Anna  Electa  Tucker, 
and  they  had  two  sons,  Hiram  2d,  born  on  October  3,  1885, 
and  William  Mather,  born  on  June  1,  1888.  He  died  on 
August  7,  1889,  at  Oswego,  from  heart  disease.  This  was 
brought  on  just  after  he  left  college,  when  he,  with  a  friend, 
tramped  through  the  White  Mountains. 

Although  he  did  not  join  the  class  until  the  beginning  of 
sophomore  year,  he  at  once  took  a  prominent  place,  and  was 
held  in  the  very  highest  regard  by  all. 


Edward  Vernon  Silver  and  Lewis  Mann  Silver  are  the

( Mann )  Silver.  Charles  Alexander  Silver  is  a  Brooklyn  busi- 
ness man,  the  son  of  Alexander  Simpson  Silver  and  Jemima 
Peterson  of  Norwich,  Vermont.  The  Silvers  were  originally 
Scotch,  and  came  to  this  country  to  settle  in  Norwich.  Our 
classmates'  father  was  born  there  on  August  21,  1821,  was 
graduated  from  Norwich  University  with  the  degree  of 
A.B.  in  1 841,  and  has  lived  in  Brooklyn  since,  as  a  merchant 
from  1 841  to  1865,  and  a  real  estate  operator  and  builder 
from  1865  to  the  present  time.  His  wife  was  born  in  Or- 
ford,  New  Hampshire,  on  October  28,  1823,  the  daughter 
of  Nathaniel  Mann  and  Mary  Mason  of  Orford.  The

with  his  brother,  on  Chapel  Street  during  freshman  year, 
on  Library  Street  during  sophomore  year,  and  in  Farnam 
in  junior  and  senior  years. 

After  graduation  he  entered  Sheffield  Scientific  School, 
where  he  studied  chemistry  and  kindred  subjects  for  one 
year.  In  the  fall  of  1883  he  entered  the  College  of  Physi- 
cians and  Surgeons,  New  York  City,  and  was  graduated 
with  the  class  of  '85.  After  spending  two  years  in  Roose- 
velt Hospital,  he  went  to  Vienna,  where  he  studied  for  one 
year.  Returning  to  New  York,  he  engaged  in  general  prac- 
tice and  in  hospital  work.  In  1891  he  removed  to  Salt  Lake 
City,  where  he  has  since  resided.     He  writes : 

"The  beautiful  location  of  this  city,  the  broadstreets  and  the 
lofty  mountains  round  about,  appealed  to  me  so  strongly  that 
I  decided  to  remain  and  build  up  a  practice  in  the  Mormon 
capital.  Murphy  was  then  living  here.  During  the  eighteen 
years'  residence  here  I  have  not  once  regretted  my  choice 
of  this  Western  home.  My  professional  duties  have  not 
been  allowed  to  absorb  all  of  my  time.  Church  and  Sunday- 
school  work  have  been  given  all  of  the  time  I  could  spare. 
This  has  not  been  difficult,  as  I  have  no  office  hours  on  Sun- 
day. As  an  elder  in  the  Third  Presbyterian  Church  and 
superintendent  of  the  Sunday-school,  and,  later,  elder  in  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church  and  superintendent  of  the  Sunday- 
school,  I  have  had  a  diversion  from  professional  duties  and 
cares  which  has  proven  very  helpful.  As  president  of  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association  for  a  number  of  years, 
I  have  been  able  to  help  a  work  which  appeals  to  me  very 
strongly." 

Silver  was  a  member  of  the  Salt  Lake  City  Board  of 
Health  from  1894  to  1896  inclusive,  and  is  a  visiting  physi- 
cian to  St.  Mark's  Hospital.  He  is  also  an  examiner  for 
the  following  insurance  companies:  the  New  York  Life,  the 
Home  Life,  the  Washington  Life,  the  Equitable  Life,  the

Lewis  Silver  was  born  in  Brooklyn  on  July  24,  i860,  and, 
like  his  twin  brother,  attended  the  Juvenile  High  School  till 
1873,  and  the  Polytechnic  Institute  from  1873  to  1875.  He 
then,  still  with  his  brother,  went  to  St.  Johnsbury  Academy  in 
Vermont  for  two  years,  and  afterward  to  Phillips  Academy, 
Andover,  Massachusetts.  He  entered  Yale  at  the  usual 
time,  and  roomed  with  his  brother,  as  stated  in  our  sketch  of 
Edward. 

Having  determined  during  his  senior  year  to  enter  upon 
the  study  and  practice  of  medicine,  he  matriculated  at  Belle- 
vue  Medical  College  in  New  York  City,  and  was  graduated 
in  March,  1885.  After  passing  eighteen  months  in  Bellevue 
Hospital  he  studied  abroad  in  various  cities  and  for  six 
months  was  intern  in  the  Frauenklinik,  Munich,  Germany, 
and  then  settled  in  New  York,  where  he  has  since  practised 
his  profession.  In  1889  he  received  an  appointment  as 
assistant  demonstrator  of  anatomy  in  Bellevue  Medical  Col- 
lege. This  he  held  until  1894.  In  1891  he  received  ap- 
pointments as  attending  physician  to  the  Demilt  Dispensary, 
department  of  general  medicine,  and  as  attending  physician 
to  the  Vanderbilt  Clinic,  department  of  children,  which 
positions  he  still  holds. 

"For  the  past  five  years,"  he  writes,  referring  to  the  inter- 
val since  the  publication  of  our  twenty-year  book,  "nothing 
very  eventful  has  happened,  and  I  have  lived  the  even 
tenor  of  my  way.  Have  enjoyed  excellent  health,  which  is 
something  to  be  thankful  for.  In  the  summer  of  1905  I 
took  an  extended  trip  through  the  West  and  along  the  Pa- 
cific coast  and  Alaska.  Met  Yale  men  all  the  way  from  the 
summits  of  White  Pass,  Alaska,  to  Los  Angeles,  California, 
and  all  glad  to  see  some  Yale  friend  from  the  East.  At 
Seattle  had  a  pleasant  three  days'  visit  with  Clarence  Smith 
at  his  summer  home  on  Lake  Washington.  At  Portland 
I  called  on  Jefferds  and  found  him  but  little  changed,  busy 
attending  to  the  sick  and  afflicted.     At  Los  Angeles  I  called

on  Richards,  but  did  not  find  him  at  home.  The  trip  ended 
with  a  pleasant  visit  with  my  brother  at  Salt  Lake." 

Silver  is  a  Republican  politically,  and  an  elder  in  the  Rut- 
gers Presbyterian  Church  of  New  York  City.  He  has  written 
several  professional  articles  for  the  Archives  of  Pediatrics.

End  Medical  Society,  the  New  England  Society  of  New 
York  (life  membership),  and  the  New  Hampshire  Society 
of  New  York. 

On  October  25,  1894,  he  married  Roberta  Shoemaker, 
at  St.  Stephen's  Church  in  Philadelphia.  Mrs.  Silver  is 
the  daughter  of  Robert  Shoemaker  and  Ann  Summers.  Her 
ancestors  were  Quakers,  among  them  Benjamin  Shoemaker, 
mayor  of  Philadelphia  in  1743,  1 75 1 ,  and  1760,  and  his 
son,  Samuel  Shoemaker,  who  was  also  mayor  in  1769  and 
1 77 1.  There  are  three  children:  Helen  Mann,  born  on 
September  28,  1895;  Margaret  Bird,  born  on  March  25, 
1897;  and  Henry  Mann,  born  on  November  6.  1904,  all  in

Irish  and  came  to  America  in  1700  or  thereabouts  to  settle 
in  Palmer. 

Smith  was  born  on  January  24,  1861,  in  Derby,  Connecti- 
cut, attended  the  Derby  public  schools,  and  was  graduated 
from  the  high  school  in  1877 ;  passed  the  Yale  examinations 
in  that  year,  and  could  have  entered  with  '81,  but  remained 
out  a  year,  during  which  he  devoted  himself  chiefly  to  music. 
During  freshman  year  he  roomed  with  E.  Smith  of  Hart- 
ford in  North  Middle,  in  sophomore  year  with  Scudder  in 
Old  Chapel,  and  in  junior  and  senior  years  he  shared  a

After  graduation  Smith  taught  for  two  years,  and  then 
entered  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  where  he 
took  his  degree  in  1887.  He  then  passed  eighteen  months 
in  Bellevue  Hospital,  and  thereafter  went  to  Seattle,  Wash- 
ington, where  he  has  since  resided  and  practised  his  pro- 
fession, with  a  short  interval  of  life  at  Elizabeth,  New  Jer- 
sey, and  Washington,  District  of  Columbia.     He  writes: 

"After  my  return  to  Seattle  in  1902  I  was  active  in  agi- 
tating the  establishing  of  a  medical  library.  As  a  feature  of 
this  work,  with  the  aid  of  another  physician,  I  began  publish- 
ing a  medical  journal,  Northwest  Medicine,  of  which  I  have 
been  editor-in-chief.  In  the  summer  of  1909  it  was  adopted 
as  the  official  journal  of  the  State  Medical  Associations  of 
Oregon,  Washington,  and  Idaho.  It  was  doubled  in  size 
and  is  now  accepted  by  the  medical  profession  as  the  estab- 
lished and  recognized  organ  of  the  profession  of  the  Pacific 
Northwest.   I  was  elected  editor-in-chief  of  the  new  journal." 

Besides  articles  for  his  own  magazine,  Smith  has  pub- 
lished "A  Study  of  Uretero-Cystostomy"  in  the  American 
Journal  of  Obstetrics  (1901),  and  "Cancer  in  the  District 
of  Columbia  for  Twenty  Years"  in  American  Medicine 
(February,  1902).  Ele  was  a  member  of  the  Washington 
State  Medical  Examining  Board  from  1896  to  1898,  and 
health  officer  of  Seattle  from  1897  to  1899.  He  is  Re-

BIOGRAPHIES 

Snyder  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  October  9,  [852.  He 
lived  in  Mechanicsville,  Tacony,  Holmesburg,  Huntingdon 
Valley,  Readingville,  Somerton,  Millersville,  and  several 
other  towns  in  Pennsylvania.  "Like  gipsies,  we  moved 
about  every  two  years,"  he  writes.  "From  four  years  of 
age  until  eleven  years  I  attended  fourteen  different  public 
schools.  At  eleven  years  I  was  bound  out  to  a  farmer  for 
my  'victuals  and  clothes'  until  I  was  sixteen  years  of  age. 
On  the  farm  I  studied  alone  at  nights."  He  was  graduated 
from  the  Millersville  State  Normal  School,  and  taught  there 
for  four  years.  Entering  college  with  the  class,  he  kept 
house  with  his  aged  mother  and  supported  her  during  the 
four  years  of  his  course.  He  took  a  sophomore  prize  in 
English  composition,  and  a  junior  prize  in  speaking. 

He  was  graduated  from  the  Yale  Theological  School  and 
ordained  in  the  ministry  in  1885,  and  has  been  a  Congrega- 
tional clergyman  since  that  time.     He  writes: 

''After  graduation  I  took  a  parish  at  Northford,  Connec- 
ticut, and  also  took  a  post-graduate  course  of  one  year  in 
the  Theological  Seminary.  I  was  called  from  Northford, 
in  1888,  to  Williamsburg,  Massachusetts.  There  I  remained 
nine  years.  From  there  I  went  to  Weymouth,  Massachu- 
setts, and  served  for  four  years.  Then  I  stopped  a  year  for 
rest  from  labor,  but  I  supplied  several  pulpits  in  this  State 
during  that  time.  I  preached  on  the  island  of  Nantucket  for 
three  months  during  the  summer  vacation.  After  about 
seven  years'  service  at  Gilbertville,  Massachusetts,  I  am 
entering  upon  the  second  year  of  my  ministry  at  Chicopee, 
Massachusetts. 

"I  delight  in  the  work  I  have  chosen.  I  should  select  the 
same  profession  if  I  had  the  privilege  of  choosing  a  second 
time.  The  gospel  is  to  me  'the  power  of  God  unto  salva- 
tion.' I  think  I  get  more  good  from  it  than  my  hearers  do. 
Nevertheless,  I  feel  that  my  labors  have  not  been  entirely 
devoid  of  fruit.     Even  a  humble  minister's  influence,  or  any

other  man's,  if  he  be  a  Christian,  cannot  be  measured  by 
dollars  or  books." 

Politically  Snyder  is  a  Republican,  with  a  lively  sympathy 
for  the  Prohibition  movement. 

On  July  9,  1883,  he  married  Maria  Louise  Bradley  of 
New  Haven,  Connecticut,  daughter  of  Charles  Leeman 
Bradley  and  Myra  Elizabeth  Pratt.  Mrs.  Snyder  is  of 
English  ancestry.  The  children  are :  Elizabeth  Glenn,  born 
on  April  24,  1884,  in  New  Haven,  Connecticut;  Marian 
Louise,  born  on  June  14,  1886,  in  Northford,  Connecticut; 
Henry  Rossiter,  born  on  December  17,  1888,  in  Williams- 
burg, Massachusetts;  and  Justine  Pratt,  born  on  March  12, 
1892,  also  in  Williamsburg.  The  eldest  girl,  Elizabeth 
Glenn  Snyder,  prepared  for  college  at  the  Weymouth 
(Massachusetts)  High  School  and  attended  Boston  Uni- 
versity. She  married  Gleason  L.  Archer,  dean  of  Suffolk 
School  of  Law,  Boston,  Massachusetts,  on  October  6,  1906. 
The  son,  Henry,  was  graduated  from  Ware  High  School  in 
the  class  of  1907,  and  is  now  in  his  third  year  in  the  Massa- 
chusetts Institute  of  Technology,  Boston.

at  the  Boys'  High  School  in  New  Orleans,  being  graduated 
in  1876,  and  then  at  Hopkins  Grammar  School  in  New 
Haven,  where  he  was  graduated  in  1878,  and  entered  the 
class  in  freshman  year.  During  that  year  he  roomed  with 
Selden  Bacon  on  York  Street,  and  thereafter  with  Curtis  in

class  of  '53.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1884,  and  has 
since  practised  his  profession  continuously  in  New  Orleans. 
He  writes : 

"My  personal  and  professional  history  is  without  inci- 
dent of  any  kind  that  would  particularly  interest  my  fellow 
members  of  '82,  keenly  interesting  and  exciting  as  have  been 
to  me  many  of  the  legal  contests  in  which  I  have  partici- 
pated. While  I  must  regretfully  confess  that  I  have  done 
nothing  that  will  add  luster  to  the  name  of  Yale,  my  life  as 
lawyer  and  citizen  has  not  been  without  success— success 
proportionate  to  my  merits  and  efforts." 

While  a  Democrat,  Titche  has  never  held  nor  sought 
office.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Chess,  Checkers  and  WThist

Vought  was  in  the  banking  business  for  twenty  years.  Fie 
writes : 

"From  graduation  to  1884  I  was  not  actively  engaged  in 
business.  After  the  death  of  my  father,  in  1882,  I  was  con- 
nected with  the  Anchor  Line  Transit  Company  of  Philadel- 
phia and  Buffalo  for  one  year.  Then  I  became  connected 
with  the  Manufacturers'  and  Traders'  Bank  of  Buffalo  as 
corresponding  clerk.  I  remained  with  them  in  various  ca- 
pacities for  twenty  years,  finally  ending  as  manager  of  the 
safe-deposit  department.  I  resigned  from  that  position  in 
March,  1906.  From  March,  1906,  to  November,  1906,  I 
tried  to  be  a  gentleman  farmer  on  my  place  in  East  Aurora, 
with  some  degree  of  success.  November,  1906,  I  went  to 
Spring  Hope,  North  Carolina,  for  the  Montgomery  Lum- 
ber Company  of  Buffalo,  and  stayed  there  until  January, 
1907,  when  I  went  to  Suffolk,  Virginia,  for  the  same  com- 
pany. The  F.  F.  V.'s  and  the  climate  proved  my  undoing, 
and  I  came  back  to  East  Aurora  in  March,  1907,  with  a  few 
relics  of  the  climate  in  the  way  of  a  cough,  bronchitis,  etc. 
March  25  I  went  with  J.  R.  Heintz  &  Company,  stock- 
brokers of  Buffalo,  and  was  with  them  until  July  1,  1909.

BIOGRAPHIES 

Since  then  I  have  associated  myself  with  my  brother,  J.  H. 
Vought,  Shell.  1893,  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  the  best 
shaking  and  dumping  grate-bar  on  the  market.  It  's  a 
dandy!  My  life  for  twenty-five  years  has  been  even  and 
uneventful  — no  great  successes;  above  all,  no  great  sorrows, 
and  not  enough  disappointments  to  hurt  any  one.  I  am 
scratching  along,  trying  to  be  as  good  as  I  know  how,  with  a 
good  wife,  three  good  boys,  a  contented  spirit,  and  a  hope 
that  I  shall  be  able  to  do  my  duty  in  that  state  of  life  to 
which  it  has  pleased  God  to  call  me." 

He  was  major  and  commissary  of  the  Eighth  Brigade  of 
the  National  Guard  of  the  State  of  New  York  for  about 
five  years.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Buffalo,  Saturn,  Univer- 
sity, and  Kllicott  clubs  of  Buffalo,  and  was  for  three  years 
treasurer  of  the  Buffalo  Club. 

June  19,  1888,  Vought  married  Natalie  Blackmar  Stern- 
berg, daughter  of  Charles  Fordyce  Sternberg  and  Mary 
Augusta  Blackmar,  in  Buffalo,  New  York.  They  have  three 
children:  Grandin  S.,  born  on  June  20,  1889;  John  Henry, 
born  on  July  3,  1892;  and  Schuyler  Verplanck,  born  on 
March  16,  1894,  all  in  Buffalo. 

His  business  address  is  827  White  Building,  Buffalo,  and 
his  residence  is  East  Aurora,  Erie  County,  New  York. 


Tracy  Waller  is  the  son  of  Thomas  McDonald  Waller 
and  Charlotte  (Bishop)  Waller.  His  father  was  governor 
of  the  State  of  Connecticut  in  1883-85,  received  the  degree 
of  M.A.  from  Yale,  and  is  still  living.  His  mother  died  on 
January  9,  19 10. 

Waller  was  born  in  New  London,  Connecticut,  January  6, 
1862,  and  passed  his  early  life  in  that  city,  preparing  for  col- 
lege at  Bulkeley  School.  He  roomed  the  first  two  years  with 
C.  B.  Graves,  and  during  junior  and  senior  years  he  roomed 
with  Stillman,  first  in  Farnam  and  afterward  in  Durfee.

Under  head  of  athletics  he  writes :  "Trained  for  a  single 
scull  race  with  three  classmates  on  Lake  Whitney,  but  we 
all  trained  down  to  too  fine  a  point,  so  there  was  no  race.

Also  umpired  a  baseball  game  for  one  inning,  to  the  general 
dissatisfaction  of  all  concerned."  He  was  a  member  of 
Gamma  Nu  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

i\.fter  leaving  college  he  studied  law  in  his  father's  office 
in  New  London,  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  and  became  a 
member  of  the  firm  of  T.  M.  &  T.  Waller.  During  the 
period  when  Governor  Waller  was  United  States  Consul 
in  London,  England,  Waller  was  in  partnership  with  John 
A.  Tibbits,  and  later  became  the  senior  member  of  the  firm 
of  Waller  &  Waller,  his  partner  being  his  brother.  He  was 
for  one  term  prosecuting  attorney,  and  for  one  term  corpo- 
ration counsel,  of  the  city  of  New  London,  and  was  also

the  rank  of  major.  Desiring  a  change,  he  associated  himself 
with  Patterson,  a  graduate  of  the  Yale  Law  School  and  a 
former  member  of  the  Vale  University  Crew,  and  together 
they  located  in  New  Orleans,  where  they  opened  an  office 
for  the  practice  of  law.  Patterson  felt  the  call  of  religious 
work,  affiliated  with  the  Salvation  Army,  and  later  became 
a  minister  of  the  gospel.  Thus  left  alone,  Waller  wandered 
to  Kansas,  where  he  became  associated  with  our  classmate 
Sholes  in  the  lumber  business;  but  his  eyes  were  fixed  on  the 
still  farther  West,  and  he  moved  to  San  Francisco.  Wan- 
derlust claimed  him,  and  feeling  the  call  of  the  sea,  he  in- 
dulged in  a  whaling  voyage  of  eight  months  up  to  and 
beyond  Alaska.  He  returned  to  San  Francisco  and  then  to 
New  London,  and  once  more  associated  himself  in  the  prac- 
tice of  his  profession  with  his  father  and  brother.  Together 
they  inaugurated  and  were  chiefly  instrumental  in  the  suc- 
cessful development  of  the  New  London  seashore  resort, 
Ocean  Beach.  At  present  he  is  practising  law  in  New 
London. 

He  has  never  married. 

His  business  address  is  38  Main  Street,  and  his  residence 
is  Mohican  Hotel,  New  London. 


*  DANIEL  B.  Weaver  was  born  in  Lancaster  County,  Penn-

Philadelphia.  They  had  one  daughter,  Rebecca  W.,  born 
on  July  28,  1886. 

Those  who  knew  him  well  appreciated  his  sterling  quali- 
ties; they  were  such  as  make  men  valuable  in  whatever  com- 
munity their  life-work  may  be  placed,  and  we  cannot  but 
regret  that  his  was  thus  early  ended  when  it  had  scarcely 
begun.

Edward  Odell  Weed 


most  of  his  life  in  the  city  of  New  York,  and  died  in  Brook- 
lyn on  June  14,  1882.  His  family  was  of  Dutch  origin,  his 
ancestors  coming  to  this  country  from  Holland  and  settling 
in  Connecticut  in  1635.  Weed's  mother  was  born  at  Cox- 
sackie,  New  York,  on  October  27,  1827,  and  died  in  Jersey 
City  on  December  17,  1880.  Her  father's  family  was  of

tled at  Kinderhook,  New  York;  her  mother's  family  was 
among  the  early  settlers  of  New  York  State. 

Weed  was  born  on  September  27,  i860,  at  Stamford,

in  New  Haven,  and  entered  the  class  at  the  beginning  of 
freshman  year.  In  sophomore  year  he  roomed  with  Phelps 
in  South  Middle,  and  in  junior  and  senior  years  with  Snell 
in  Durfee.  He  was  a  member  of  Kappa  Sigma  Epsilon  and 
Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

After  graduation  Weed  was  made  secretary  of  the  Cres- 
cent Watch  Case  Company,  which  was  located  at  first  in 
Chicago,  Illinois,  and  subsequently  in  Brooklyn,  New  York. 
In  1887,  however,  he  resigned  his  office  in  that  company  and 
returned  to  Chicago,  and  became  the  treasurer  of  the  Silver 
Creek  &  Morris  Coal  Company,  thus  again  coming  into  in- 
timate relations  with  his  old  roommate  Snell,  who  was  one 
of  the  organizers  of  that  concern.  In  1894  the  Philadelphia 
&  Reading  Coal  &  Iron  Company  absorbed  the  Silver  Creek 
&  Morris  Coal  Company.  Weed  thereupon  moved  to  Cali- 
fornia, where  he  purchased  a  ranch  at  Gardena,  then  eight 
miles  south,  but  now  included  in  the  boundaries  of  Los 
Angeles  City.  His  land  has  irrigation  rights  and  is  highly 
productive  and  of  large  present  and  larger  prospective 
value,  walnuts  and  alfalfa  being  his  crop.  While  Weed  and 
his  family  still  reside  on  the  ranch,  he  does  not  give  its  oper- 
ation his  personal  attention,  as  of  recent  years  his  time  has 
been  largely  occupied  with  the  duties  connected  with  his 
official  position,  that  of  chief  deputy  county  assessor  of  Los 
Angeles  County. 

He  married  at  Chicago,  Illinois,  on  September  27,  1884, 
Emma  Christie  Ramsey,  who  was  born  in  Knoxville,  Ten- 
nessee, the  daughter  of  Dr.  Frank  A.  Ramsey  and  Ann  M. 
Breck.  Mrs.  Weed's  family  is  of  Scotch  and  English  de- 
scent, her  ancestors  having  been  early  settlers  in  Abingdon, 
Virginia.  They  have  one  child,  a  daughter,  Helen  B.  Weed, 
who  was  born  at  Brooklyn,  New  York,  on  October  26,  1886, 
and  was  married  on  November  17,  1909. 

His  address  is  Gardena,  California.

1889,  brother;  Edward  Goodwin,  Yale  1823,  grandfather; 
Sheldon  Goodwin,  Yale  1858,  uncle. 

With  four  generations  in  Yale  behind  him,  it  was  inevi- 
table that  Welch,  after  being  born  in  Hartford  on  October 
6,  1859,  and  educated  in  the  Hartford  schools,  and  gradu- 
ated from  the  Hartford  High  School  in  1878,  should  enter 
the  same  college.  During  freshman  year  he  roomed  with 
Morris,  and  in  sophomore  and  junior  years  with  Emmet  S. 
Williams.  He  was  a  member  of  the  junior  promenade  com- 
mittee, of  Delta  Kappa,  He  Boule,  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsi- 
lon,  the  Freshman  Glee  Club,  and  the  college  chapel  choir. 
He  is  also  a  graduate  member  of  Wolf's  Head. 

At  the  end  of  junior  year  he  was  obliged  to  leave  college, 
and  went  immediately  into  the  actuarial  department  of  the 
Travelers'  Insurance  Company,  expecting  to  take  that  sim- 
ply as  a  temporary  makeshift  until  he  should  have  the  oppor- 
tunity to  study  law.  He  studied  law,  as  well  as  the  principles 
of  actuarial  science,  during  the  first  year.  He  remained 
with  the  Travelers'  Insurance  Company  for  nine  years,  and 
in  July,  1900,  he  was  appointed  actuary  of  the  Phoenix  Mu- 
tual Life  Insurance  Company,  which  had  just  been  made  a 
purely  mutual  company  by  a  special  act  of  the  Legislature. 
He  became  actuary  and  assistant  secretary  for  the  company 
in  January,  1903,  and  second  vice-president  and  actuary  in 
December,  1904,  which  last  offices  he  now  holds.  He  was 
appointed  chairman  of  a  committee  of  actuaries  from  the 
various  companies  to  appear  at  the  public  hearing  in  Albany 
on  the  so-called  Armstrong  Bill,  which  was  the  result  of  the 
investigations  into  life-insurance  companies  carried  on  by 
Mr.  (now  Justice)  Hughes.  As  such  chairman,  he,  with 
one  other  representative  of  life-insurance  interests,  was 
called  in  conference  by  the  Armstrong  Committee  in  its  final

remodeling  of  the  bill.  Since  that  time  he  has  been  called 
in  conference,  both  in  Washington  and  elsewhere,  on  new- 
legislation  incorporating  advanced  ideals  for  life-insurance. 
In  the  winter  of  1890-91,  by  special  permission  of  the 
faculty,  he  took  the  senior  course,  studying  at  home,  and 
passed  the  regular  examinations  for  the  degree  in  June. 
[891,  when  the  faculty  gave  him  his  diploma  with  enrol- 
ment in  his  old  class  of  '82.     He  writes : 

"No  work  that  1  have  engaged  in  since  I  left  Xew  Haven 
has  given  me  greater  return  than  that  winter's  study  which 
placed  me  on  the  rolls  of  Yale  '82.'' 

I  lis  only  political  work  has  been  in  connection  with  the 
high  school,  which  is  under  the  control  of  a  bi-partizan  com- 
mittee of  five,  elected  annually.  For  ten  years  he  has  served 
on  this  committee,  and  for  eight  years  has  acted  as  its  chair- 
man. Welch  became  a  member  of  the  Actuarial  Society  of 
America  in  1890,  was  its  treasurer  for  many  years,  and  is 
now  vice-president.  He  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the 
course  of  insurance  at  Yale,  and  still  continues  to  lecture  in 
that  department.  He  has  contributed  various  articles  to 
the  publications  of  the  Actuarial  Society.  In  politics  he  is  a 
Republican.  He  is  secretary  of  the  American  School  for  the 
Deaf,  has  served  as  president  of  the  Yale  Alumni  Associa- 
tion of  Hartford,  is  president  of  the  Hartford  Philhar-

Yale  Club  of  New  York,  the  Graduates'  Club  of  New 
Haven,  the  University  Club  of  Hartford,  and  various  chari- 
table associations.  In  1904  he  made  a  trip  through  Eng- 
land, France,  Germany,  Switzerland,  and  Holland. 

On  October  24,  1899,  in  Hartford,  he  married  Ellen 
Bunce,  daughter  of  James  M.  Bunce  and  Elizabeth  Chester.

town  in  the  practice  of  the  law,  and  died  there  on  May  15, 
1904.  His  parents  were  Roger  WTelles  and  Electa  Stanley, 
both  of  Newington.  His  family  was  of  English  origin,  and 
came  here  in  1636  to  settle  in  Hartford,  Connecticut. 
Welles'  mother  was  born  on  August  31,  1832,  the  daughter 
of  Lemuel  Aikin  of  Fairhaven,  Massachusetts.  The  Aikin 
ancestors  were  early  settlers  of  Nantucket. 

Welles  was  born  on  April  15,  1859,  in  Henderson,  Min- 
nesota, lived  there  for  one  year  and  in  Newington  many 
years,  attending  the  Hartford  High  School  from  1874  to

in  North,  and  in  junior  and  senior  years  in  Farnam  with 
Rice.  He  was  on  the  class-picture  committee,  and  a  mem- 
ber of  Sigma  Epsilon. 

After  graduation  Welles  received  an  appointment  in  Sep- 
tember, 1882,  as  examiner  in  the  old  war  division  of  the 
Pension  Office,  Department  of  the  Interior,  at  Washington. 
While  there,  he  studied  law  at  the  Columbian  University; 
received  his  LL.B.  in  1884,  and  an  M.L.  in  1885;  and  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  in  1886.  In  April  of  that  year  he  re- 
signed and  became  connected  with  the  Title  Guarantee  & 
Trust  Company  of  New  York  City.  About  this  time  he 
began  living  in  Westfield,  New  Jersey.  He  served  as  mem-

of  years,  was  a  member  of  the  Council  or  governing  board 
of  the  town,  and  was  treasurer  of  the  town  and  presiding 
officer  of  the  Council  at  one  time.  He  was  secretary  and 
director  of  the  Westfield  Land  &  Improvement  Company, 
a  director  of  the  Westfield  Building  and  Loan  Association 
and  of  the  Westfield  Trust  Company,  a  member  of  various 
social,  charitable,  and  philanthropic  organizations,  and  an 
officer  of  the  Congregational  Church.  Politically  he  is  a 
Republican.  His  connection  with  the  Title  Guarantee  & 
Trust  Company  continued  until  1893,  when  he  accepted  an 
offer  from  the  Bond  &  Mortgage  Guarantee  Company  of 
New  York  to  become  its  assistant  secretary.  Later  he  was 
elected  treasurer  and  fourth  vice-president.  In  April,  1906, 
on  account  of  continued  ill  health,  he  resigned,  and,  taking  his 
family  with  him,  left  for  Europe.  From  Venice  he  wrote  in 
1907  :  "We  expect  to  return  to  the  United  States  in  August. 
I  plan  then  to  go  to  the  Pacific  slope,  where  the  climate 
will  be  more  beneficial  than  that  of  New  York."  On  return- 
ing to  this  country,  however,  he  changed  his  plans,  and  he  is 
now  living  in  Hartford,  Connecticut,  where  he  is  vice-presi-

visited them  and  others  with  his  family. 

His  wife  is  Mary  Amelia  Patton,  daughter  of  William 
W.  Patton,  New  York  University  '39,  and  Mary  B.  Smith. 
The  marriage  took  place  on  June  12,  1888,  in  Washington,

freshman  year  in  West  Divinity.  In  sophomore  and  junior 
years  he  was  with  Johnson  in  West  Divinity  and  Farnam, 
and  in  senior  year  in  Farnam  with  McMillan.  He  took  sev- 
eral Greek  and  Latin  prizes  while  he  was  an  undergraduate, 
and  was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa,  Eta  Phi,  Delta  Kappa 
Epsilon,  and  Skull  and  Bones. 

After  graduation  he  entered  the  Yale  Law  School,  but  in 
1883  he  went  to  South  Dakota  and  was  president  of  a  bank 
at  Ipswich  until  1887,  when  he  moved  to  Kansas  City. 
There,  he  says,  he  "answered  the  only  question  ever  asked 
me  in  a  bar  examination,"  and  was  admitted.  Later  he 
returned  to  South  Dakota,  and  practised  in  Ipswich  from 
1888  to  1895.  "Law  practice  in  South  Dakota,"  he  writes, 
"was  active  but  not  profitable.  Years  of  drought  wiped 
out  land  values,  and  a  fire  burned  up  the  town.  I  had  been 
elected  county  judge  by  the  Pops  and  Democrats,  but  the 
Republican  auditor  held  the  keys  of  the  ballot-boxes,  and  on 
a  recount  I  was  not  elected.  As  he  was  a  Republican,  and 
therefore  incapable  of  wrong,  I  suppose  the  ballots  changed 
their  own  markings.  The  combination  of  apparent  misfor- 
tunes hastened  our  return  to  New  York.  Here  the  law  en- 
ables us  to  own  a  little  farm  of  woods  and  hills  on  Long 
Island,  where  we  enjoy  the  summer.  My  present  firm  is 
Collin,  Wells  &  Hughes,  a  very  congenial  combination.  We 
are  neither  rich  nor  poor,  but  we  enjoy  our  friends  and  envy 
none." 

Wells'  New  York  life  dates  from  1895.  He  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  University,  Brooklyn,  Yale,  and  Lawyers'  clubs, 
and  is  a  Presbyterian. 

On  November  12,  1884,  in  Freeport,  Illinois,  he  married 
Eleanore  B.  Fitch,  daughter  of  Edward  C.  Fitch  and  Mar- 
garet Bonner.  Mrs.  Wells'  parents  moved  to  Freeport 
from  Columbia  County,  New  York,  in  1850,  and  her  more 
remote  ancestors  came  from  Scotch  and  English  families 
whose   representatives   came  to  this   country  two   hundred

*  Joseph  Ernest  Whitney,  son  of  Joseph  L.  Whitney, 
was  born  in  Cornwall,  Connecticut,  on  February  17,  1858. 
In  college  he  roomed  the  first  two  years  with  Burpee  in 


Joseph  Ernest  Whitney 


North  and  South  Middle,  and  the  last  two  years  with  Storrs 
in  Farnam.  He  was  president  of  the  Gamma  Nu  campaign 
committee,  won  composition  prizes  both  terms  of  sopho- 
more year,  and  was  on  the  editorial  board  of  the  Record  in 
sophomore  and  junior  years.  He  was  a  Townsend  speaker, 
chairman  of  the  Lit,  and  class  poet.  His  societies  were 
Gamma  Nu,  Psi  Upsilon,  and  Skull  and  Bones. 

After  graduation  he  had  charge  of  a  small  private  school 
for  boys  in  Elmira,  New  York,  until  January,  1884,  when 
he  went  to  the  Albany  Academy  as  instructor  in  English  and 
rhetoric.  He  was  called  thence  in  the  summer  of  1884  to 
Yale  College  as  instructor  in  English,  and  remained  there

until  December,  1888,  when  he  went  to  Colorado  on  ac- 
count of  his  health,  which  had  begun  to  fail  the  previous 
year.  He  lived  in  Colorado  Springs  in  increasing  feebleness 
for  over  four  years,  and  died  there  from  hemorrhage  of  the 
lungs  on  February  25,  1893,  at  the  age  of  thirty-five.  His 
literary  tastes  were  prominent  in  undergraduate  days,  and 
in  spite  of  years  of  weakness  he  was  able  to  do  much  work 
of  high  order  in  poetry  and  criticism;  while  by  his  courage 
and  sweetness  of  spirit  he  won  the  deepest  regard.  He  was 
a  contributor  to  the  Century,  the  American  Magazine,  St. 
Nicholas  >  Harper's  Young  People,  Wide  Awake,  the  Critic, 
the  New  Enghnulcr,  and  many  other  periodicals. 

On  November  15,  1883,  he  married  Sadie  Prince  Turner 
of  New  Haven,  at  Syracuse,  New  York.  They  had  one 
child,  Margaret,  born  April  13,  1886. 

During  the  last  four  years  of  his  life,  under  infirmities  of 
body  to  which  most  men  would  have  succumbed  in  absolute 
idleness,  he  kept  on  heroically  at  his  literary  work,  and  the 
poems  he  wrote  then,  as  well  as  the  unfailing  brightness  of 
his  conversation  and  his  letters,  have  been,  for  many,  an 
inspiration  to  better  living. 

His  struggle  with  disease  did  not  make  him  bitter,  and 
his  cheerfulness  and  wit  never  deserted  him.  He  interested 
himself  in  social  betterment,  and  a  Boys'  Club,  named  after 
him,  still  exists  in  Colorado  Springs,  as  a  memorial.  But 
more  enduring  than  any  such  institution  is  the  memorial 
which  lives  in  the  hearts  of  the  many,  East  and  West,  who 
came  under  the  influence  of  his  rich  and  ever  ripening  per- 
sonality.

race.  Wanted  to  play  first  base  on  class  nine,  but  Sam  Hop- 
kins entered  our  class,  and  so  I  had  no  show.  Tried  football 
once,  but  Badger  briefly  but  firmly  advised  me  to  look  up 
the  rules,  and  I  was  discouraged  in  that  direction."  He  was 
a  member  of  Delta  Kappa,  He  Boule,  Delta  Kappa  Epsi- 
lon,  and  Scroll  and  Key,  and  also  of  the  Delta  Kappa  Epsi-

After  graduation  he  chose  the  profession  of  mechan- 
ical engineering,  for  which  he  had  an  inherited  taste  and 
aptitude.  He  passed  the  greater  part  of  three  years  at  the 
Sheffield  Scientific  School  in  the  study  of  this  profession.  In 
1884  he  received  the  degree  of  Ph.B.,  and  in  1886  the 
further  degree  of  Dynamic  Engineer.  In  the  autumn  of 
1885,  for  the  purpose  of  learning  the  practical  details  of  his 
profession,  he  became  a  machinist  apprentice  in  the  car- 
shops  of  the  Michigan  Central  Railroad  Company  at  Jack- 
son, Michigan,  where  he  remained  nearly  two  years.  In 
February,  1888,  he  was  made  superintendent  of  motive 
power  of  the  Duluth,  South  Shore  and  Atlantic  Railroad 
Company,  with  his  residence  at  Marquette,  Michigan.  He 
resigned  his  position  in  the  summer  of  1889,  and  became 
traveling  agent  for  the  Iron  Bay  Company  of  West  Duluth, 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  mining  machinery.  In  July, 
1890,  he  was  appointed  general  agent  for  the  Montana 
region  of  that  company,  and  also  of  the  Robinson  &  Cary 
Company  of  St.  Paul.  His  new  residence  was  at  Helena, 
Montana,  where  he  remained,  actively  engaged  in  business, 
until  the  day  of  his  death.  He  died  very  suddenly  in  that 
city  on  March  3,  1891,  of  pneumonia.  His  remains  were 
brought  to  the  East,  and  were  interred  in  the  Albany  Rural 
Cemetery.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Society  of 
Mechanical  Engineers  and  of  the  University  Club  of  New 
York  City,  and  also  belonged  to  the  Masonic  Order. 

His  career  was  full  of  promise,  and  his  death  was  a  shock 
to  all  who  knew  and  loved  him.  There  was  a  singular 
charm  about  him  that  will  ever  linger  in  the  memory.  The 
keenness  of  his  intellect  was  matched  by  the  directness  of  his 
purpose.  When  a  decision  was  made  he  did  not  swerve 
from  his  aim.  The  depth  of  his  inner  life  was  hidden  under 
an  easy  grace  of  manner.  No  one  was  more  free  from  cant, 
more  straightforward  in  speech,  nor  more  ready  with  the 
tactful,  kindly  word  in  season.

mont. They  took  part  in  the  French  and  Indian  War,  the 
Revolution,  and  the  War  of  18 12.  Wright's  mother  was 
born  in  1826  at  East  Windsor,  Connecticut,  there  spent  her

Revolutionary  War,  and  were  among  the  early  settlers  in 
Massachusetts  and  Connecticut. 

Wright  was  born  on  February  23,  1862,  at  Meriden,  Con- 
necticut, and  removed  to  New  Haven  with  his  parents  in 
1863.  He  prepared  for  college  in  the  Hopkins  Grammar 
School,  entering  '82  at  the  beginning  of  freshman  year.  He 
was  a  member  of  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon. 

After  graduation  he  took  the  degree  of  LL.B.  at  Yale, 
and  then  entered  upon  the  practice  of  law  in  New  Haven 
in  partnership  with  his  father.  On  the  death  of  his  father 
Wright's  practice  called  him  to  New  York,  where  he  was 
admitted  to  the  bar;  but  his  health  failed,  and  for  a  number 
of  years  was  such  that  he  was  able  to  give  little  attention  to 
his  professional  work.  Afterward  he  moved  to  Chicago, 
whither  his  inclinations  had  always  led  him.     He  writes : 

"I  have  traveled  North  and  South  between  the  two  great 
oceans,  and  I  have  crossed  them.  I  have  regained  my  health 
long  since,  and  I  have  worked  at  my  chosen  profession  with 
diligence  and  with  such  success  as  my  friends  shall  judge. 
My  travels  have  made  me  contented,  my  work  has  made  me 
happy.  This  I  have  achieved,  and,  according  to  my  philos- 
ophy, if  I  shall  thus  continue  to  the  end  of  the  book,  broad- 
ening as  I  progress,  I  shall  not  regret  that  I  have  no  more  to 
say  about  the  present  chapter." 

Wright  is  a  member  and  a  vestryman  of  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church,  and  is  a  member  of  the  Union  League 
Club  of  Chicago,  the  Church  Club  of  Chicago,  and  the  Mili- 
tary Order  of  the  Loyal  Legion. 

He  married  on  May  18,  1900,  at  Fargo,  North  Dakota, 
Florence  B.  Henderson,  the  daughter  of  Albert  C.  Hen- 
derson and  Harriet  F.  Boyington.  Mrs.  Wright's  family  is 
of  English  origin.    They  have  no  children.

during  senior  year  on  account  of  ill  health,  hoping  to  rejoin 
the  class  and  graduate  with  it,  but  the  hope  was  destined 
never  to  be  fulfilled.  He  failed  rapidly  for  some  months 
and,  as  a  last  resort,  was  taken  to  Colorado.  Gaining  noth-

of  New  York  City.  She  died  in  Morristown  in  1896.  The 
Ellis  family  was  of  Dutch  and  French  origin  and  belonged 
to  the  early  New  York  Colony. 

Bishop  was  born  in  New  Brunswick  on  September  17, 
i860,  but  in  early  youth  went  abroad  and  attended  several 
German  schools  and  one  French  one.  Later  he  returned  to 
this  country  and  was  entered  at  St.  Paul's  at  Concord, 
New  Hampshire,  to  prepare  for  college.  He  was  graduated 
in  1879  and  entered  '82  at  the  beginning  of  sophomore  year. 
Bishop  was  interested  in  indoor  gymnastics  and  took  a  prize 
for  work  on  the  horizontal  bar  in  the  winter  meeting  of 
1 88 1.  He  was  on  the  staff  of  the  Courant  and  belonged  to 
Psi  Upsilon.  At  the  end  of  junior  year  he  left  college,  en- 
tered Harvard,  and  was  graduated  in  the  class  of  '82. 

Since  graduation  he  has  been  engaged  in  school  teaching 
and  management.  For  the  first  year  he  was  at  St.  Paul's 
School.  In  1883  he  accepted  a  position  in  the  New  Jersey 
State  Bureau  of  Statistics  at  Trenton.  This  occupied  him 
for  a  year,  until  Dr.  McCosh  persuaded  him  to  take  hold 
of  the  defunct  Princeton  Preparatory  School,  with  a  view  to 
its  resuscitation.  The  trustees  deeded  the  school  property 
to  him,  and  he  was  very  successful  in  reviving  the  institu- 
tion. Finally,  when  the  management  of  it  became  too  bur- 
densome, he  sold  his  title  and  good-will  and  bought  a  half- 
share  in  an  established  day-school  in  Cincinnati.  Thither 
he  moved  in  1888.  From  1895  to  1904  he  was  principal  of 
the  Walnut  Hills  High  School.  The  University  of  Cincin- 
nati conferred  a  Ph.D.  on  him  in  1904.  Since  that  time  he 
has  been  at  the  head  of  the  Eastern  High  School  in  Detroit. 
He  has  edited  a  book  called  "Ovid  for  Sight  Reading"  and 
has  written  numerous  articles  for  the  School  Review  and 
the  National  Education  Association  reports.  He  is  chief 
editor  of  an  edition  of  Cicero's  Orations  for  schools,  now

er's side.  The  paternal  ancestors  came  to  this  country 
from  England  in  1640  and  settled  in  Salem,  Massachusetts. 
Those  on  the  maternal  side  came  ten  years  later  and  also 
settled  in  Massachusetts.  Thomas  Burpee  of  Stafford,  Con- 
necticut, the  grandfather  of  our  classmate,  had  a  son  named 
Thomas  Francis  Burpee,  a  woolen-manufacturer  of  Rock- 
ville,  Connecticut,  born  on  February  17,  1830,  at  Stafford.

Buel,  S.  D.  Thacher,  both  '83,  and  Burpee  wrote  a  bur- 
lesque of  "Medea,"  which,  when  presented  at  the  New 
Haven  Opera  House  by  a  college  cast,  netted  a  handsome 
sum  for  the  Yale  Field  movement,  which  was  then  in  its  in- 
cipiency. 

Burpee  became  a  newspaper  man  and  rapidly  mounted 
to  a  high  position  in  the  profession.  He  was  successively 
city  editor  of  the  Waterbury  (Connecticut)  American, 
1883-91,  associate  editor  of  the  Bridgeport  (Connecticut)

at  the  end  of  junior  year  he  spent  the  year  1881-82  in  Wis- 
consin tor  his  health.  In  senior  year  he  roomed  in  West 
Divinity  with  his  brother,  who  was  then  in  the  Law  School.

Cooper  &  Company.     He  wrrites  : 

"The  first  thing  of  note  which  happened  to  me  after  leav- 
ing '82  was  to  get  well  enough  to  go  back  and  graduate  with 
the  next  best  class,  '83. 

"Since  then  I  have  endeavored  to  put  in  as  little  time  for 
as  big  pay  as  possible  in  the  grocery  business,  and  as  much 
time  for  as  little  pay  as  possible  in  out-of-door  pursuits. 
Fresh-water  sailing,  wild-fowl  and  upland  shooting,  a  little 
golf  and  very  poor,  the  American  trotting  horse  and  Eng- 
lish setter  dog  have  each  had  their  time  in  my  enthusiasm, 
and  the  horse  has  not  yet  been  superseded  by  the  automo- 
bile, but  I  fancy  it  will,  if  the  Good  Roads  Commission  in 
this  State  accomplishes  its  object."

State  Agricultural  Society  for  the  last  five  years,  and  head

the  old  Dutch  families,  Van  Dorn,  Van  Dusen,  Rutherfurd, 
Van  Rensselaer,  etc. 

Schuyler  was  born  in  1859  in  New  York  City,  and  has 
lived  all  his  life  there,  save  one  year  in  Iowa  and  the  year 
which  he  spent  with  us  in  college.  He  attended  the 
Columbia  Grammar  School  and  took  a  year  in  the  College 
of  the  City  of  New  York.  Then  came  a  year  at  Iowa  Col- 
lege, Grinnell,  Iowa,  before  his  entrance  at  Yale.  He  left 
New  Haven  at  the  end  of  freshman  year  in  order  to  begin 
his  professional  studies,  but  not  before  he  had  exhibited 
some  athletic  ability  by  winning  the  hundred-yard  dash  and 
a  three-legged  race,  the  latter  in  collaboration  with  Cuyler, 
with  whom  he  roomed  on  York  Street.  Schuyler  also  rowed 
on  the  freshman  crew. 

Immediately  after  leaving  college  he  entered  the 
Columbia  Law  School,  taking  the  entire  course;  but  he  did 
not  apply  for  admission  to  the  bar,  as  he  had  built  up,  while 
studying  in  the  law  school,  an  insurance  business  which  he 
continued.  Subsequently  he  went  into  the  real  estate  busi- 
ness, in  which  he  has  been  continuously  engaged  since  1885. 
For  many  years  he  has  been  and  is  now  a  member  of  the 
Real  Estate  Board  of  Brokers,  which  is  the  Real  Estate 
Exchange  of  the  city  of  New  York,  and  is  one  of  the  gov-

The  following  memorial  was  drawn  up  by  Abbott 
and  Dillingham  under  a  motion  passed  by  the 
class  at  its  business  meeting,  June  25,  1907: 

Whereas  our  friends  and  classmates,  Wayland 
Irving  Bruce,  David  Anderson  Chenault,  Frank 
Runyon  Gallaher,  George  Parker  Richardson, 
and  Frank  Hiram  Snell,  have  been  taken  from  us 
since  our  last  reunion, 

Resolved  that  we,  members  of  the  class  of 
1882,  gathered  at  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of 
our  graduation  from  Yale,  do  hereby  personally, 
and  jointly  as  a  class,  express  our  grief  at  the  loss 
which  we  have  suffered  in  their  death.  They  were 
joined  to  us  by  the  close  ties  which  four  years  of 
college  life  together  had  woven  about  us,  and  in 
the  intimacy  of  that  life,  and  in  the  years  which 
have  passed  since  then,  we  found  them  to  be  true 
men  and  sincere,  sympathetic,  and  steadfast 
friends.  In  the  outside  world  their  fine  personal 
qualities,  their  upright  lives,  and  the  services  which 
they  rendered  to  their  friends  and  to  the  public 
won  them  respect  and  esteem,  and  the  communi- 
ties in  which  they  lived  mourn  with  us  over  their 
decease.
